Moore Township is an inactive township in Shannon County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1]
Moore Township was erected in 1842, and named after Robert E. Moore, an early settler.[2] The infamous Tri-State Tornado (which was likely a tornado family) was first sighted in the area and would cause around 700 fatalities across Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
