About Moorefield

Tucked into the scenic South Branch Valley, Moorefield serves as the welcoming heart of Hardy County. Home to around 2,500 people, the town sits right where two branches of the Potomac River meet, framed by rolling green pastures and mountain ridges. It is one of the oldest settlements in the region, and that long history shows in the brick storefronts, historic homes, and easygoing charm of its downtown.

Because of its central spot in the valley, Moorefield naturally functions as the main gathering place for the surrounding area. Locals head into town for grocery shopping, school events, casual dining, and county business. Between the relaxed daily rhythm, easy access to river fishing and kayaking, and scenic views in every direction, it is a comfortable place to settle down and enjoy small-town living.
