HISTORY

Old Moortown was little more than woodland for centuries before it became enclosed farmland in the 19th century. By the early 1900s, it was part of the tram route from Leeds and this led to the growth of the area. As mini estates began to be built, the population grew with businesses and amenities opening. In the space of a few decades it went from an agricultural village to a developed suburb and today it continues to expand.
