Mooreville is an unincorporated community in Washtenaw County in the state of Michigan. Mooreville is located with York Township and as an unincorporated community, it has no legally defined boundaries.

Mooreville is about 3 miles northwest of Milan and about 8 miles south of Saline. The Saline River meanders through the community and they are served by Milan Area Schools.

That is why Mooreville residents call on SERVPRO's professional fire and water restoration technicians, who can arrive faster to any disaster and have the experience to do the job right.

Mooreville was established in 1826. The first recorded resident was John L. Moore, who came from New York state around 1830, which makes Mooreville one of the county's oldest settlements.

In 1838, after a second sawmill was built, the community furnished all the lumber for the buildings being built in Washtenaw County. Mooreville became an important stop along the stagecoach route that connected Adrian, Jackson and Detroit. By 1881, Mooreville was thriving and outpacing nearby Milan in prosperity. Mooreville contained a cheese factory, cider mill, a steam-powered sawmill, two general stores, five churches, several shops, a saloon, hotel and school.

However, in the 188o's the Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan Railway and the Wabash Railroad began constructing railway lines through the area. The railway lines bypassed Mooreville in favor of Milan, which led to the decline of Mooreville and a surge of development and growth for Milan.

In 2021, the Moorevile Riverbend Preserve was inaugurated as an 11-acre nature reserve along the Saline River. The land was previously private property but was purchased by the township and the Washtenaw County Parks & Recreation Commission. The park consists of a rustic parking lot and walking trail along the riverbend, and future plans include a small boat launch, paved parking lot, fishing deck and other amenities.

Mooreville could be called a victim of progress or circumstances, but the residents are content with the way things are, otherwise they would not have stayed in this small community.
