"The town had a population of just over 200 in 1900 and with the discovery of natural gas in 1910, the town became a service center for the oil industry.

Moran reached its high-water mark in 1940 with 710 citizens. By 1950 it had declined to 610 and by 1980 there were 344 people calling Moran home.

According to the Handbook of Texas, the town had two grain elevators as well as schools and three churches in the 1980s. The population was 285 in 1990."
