History
Moran had its start on a stagecoach line and was also known as Jesse, Moran Station, and Streetsboro Corners. Later, it was a stop on the
Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway.
A post office called Jesse was established in 1887, and remained in operation until 1924.
Interstate 480 was built through the area in the mid-1960s.
Moran has remnants of a portion of the unfinished "Clinton Air Line", railroad, reportedly named for DeWitt Clinton. A bridge foundation remains at Tinker's Creek and some of the line was visible during the construction of the "Step Two" manufacturing plant. Also contains a small Civil War Veterans burial site (on private property).
