Discover Moro: Where History Meets Wheat Fields
At the crossroads of scenic Highway 97 and rolling wheat fields, Moro serves as the county seat of Sherman County in north central Oregon. With a population of approximately 388 residents within ZIP code 97039, this small but vibrant community sits about 18 miles south of the Columbia River at an elevation of 1,799 feet. Despite being the smallest county seat in Oregon with less than half a square mile of land area, Moro embodies the peaceful rural charm and agricultural heritage that defines this region of the state.
Founded in the late 1860s by settler Henry Barnum, Moro was incorporated in 1899 and has maintained its historic character through the years. The stately Sherman County Courthouse, completed in the same year as the town’s incorporation, remains one of only three county courthouses in Oregon that have been in continuous use since the 19th century. Today, Moro serves as an important hub for the surrounding agricultural community while becoming increasingly attractive to visitors exploring the Journey Through Time Scenic Byway.
Moro’s Unique Storage Needs
The agricultural backbone of Moro creates distinctive storage challenges for local residents and businesses. As Sherman County boasts the largest percentage of cultivated land in Oregon, seasonal farming equipment, harvest supplies, and agricultural implements often require secure storage solutions during off-seasons. Homeowners in the area frequently need flexible storage options for seasonal items related to the area’s variable climate, which features hot, dry summers and chilly, wetter winters.
Recent economic developments have further increased storage demands in the Moro area. The growing wind energy sector, with hundreds of turbines now dotting the Sherman County landscape, has brought new businesses and workers to the region. Additionally, the area’s increasing popularity as a destination for outdoor enthusiasts visiting nearby Cottonwood Canyon State Park and the John Day River has created seasonal storage needs for recreational equipment and tourism-related businesses. As more people from urban areas discover Moro’s appeal for retirement and recreational home sites, transitional storage requirements have become increasingly common.
