Moraine

This was a rural post office established May 26, 1904 with Jesse Lunney Postmaster. It was located in NE 1/4 Section 29-151-56, Moraine Township, nine miles south of Niagara and named for its township, which was named by Captain Simon P. Webster, a Civil War veteran, to note the moraines in the area. A moraine is an area where a ridge of boulders has been left by a receding glacier. The post office closed February 28, 1915 with mail to Larimore.
