Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Moores Hill, IN

Moores Hill is a town in Sparta Township, Dearborn County, in southeastern Indiana, covering just over half a square mile.

Moores Hill was platted in 1839 by Adam Moore and Andrew Stevens with nine lots next to Moore's gristmill; it was originally called Moores Mill, but postal authorities misspelled the name as Moores Hill and the error stuck.

Many of Moores Hill's early settlers were Methodist families from Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

The 2020 census counted 675 people in Moores Hill, up from 597 in 2010, when the town had 223 households.

Moores Hill is the original home of the University of Evansville: Moores Hill College was founded on January 10, 1854 as the Moores Hill Male and Female Collegiate Institute, and its first building, Moore Hall, was completed on December 1, 1856.

After Moore Hall was destroyed by fire in 1915, the financially struggling college moved to Evansville in 1919, becoming Evansville College and eventually the University of Evansville.

Carnegie Hall, built in 1907-1908 with $18,750 from Andrew Carnegie, is the only surviving building of the original college campus; it later housed the town's elementary and high schools until 2021 and is now maintained as a museum.

Both Carnegie Hall and the Moores Hill United Methodist Church are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Moores Hill and its citizens were the subject of the 1941 book of poems Pop. 359, written by Indianapolis Star columnist Carl Wilson under the pseudonym Tramp Starr.

Dearborn County, organized in 1803 and named for U.S. Secretary of War Henry Dearborn, is one of Indiana's oldest counties, and Moores Hill is one of its small historic towns near the Ohio state line.
