Geography

History

Morley was first settled in 1810. It was originally known as Long Rapids. A post office was established in 1839, and the hamlet got its new name of Morley in that year. The post office has since been closed. In its heyday, the center of activity in Morley was the Harrison Grist Mill. At its peak, the hamlet had a population of about 300.

The Harrison Grist Mill and Trinity Episcopal Chapel are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [1]
