Moore’s Siding was the first name of Mooresville, NC
In 1856 the Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad completed the track from Charlotte to Statesville.

John Franklin Moore offered land for the site as well as lots for sale to anyone interested in building a town. The place was named Moore’s Siding in honor of John Moore and his generous gift.
