History

As the name suggests, Moore Park was named after John Thomas Moore. While Moore put all his time and money into making the Belt Line Railway a success, this was not enough to save the area from the Depression.

Although Moore Park was subdivided in 1889, home construction did not start until the early 1900’s. From there, things moved fast with the neighbourhood reaching full development by the 1930’s.
