A post office called Northmoor was established in 1927, and remained in operation until 1947. The community's name is an amalgamation of Moore, the name of a first settler, and "north", a directional name relative to the community's location from Kansas City.
On May 4, 2003 an EF-4 tornado ripped through the town, destroying several homes and causing extensive damage to the police station and to City Hall. Despite the damage, no serious injuries were reported.
