It is part of the Killeen–Temple–Fort Hood Metropolitan Statistical Area. The community was founded by Amelia Vancil and Chauncey Warren Moffet in February 1857. A store, built by William Elisha Pruett in the late 1860s, served as the main social focus for area residents for several years. The community has been referred to by several names: Moffattown, Moffatsville, Mount Green, and Gandertown; Moffat was chosen as the official name when a post office opened there in 1872. By the mid-1880s, Moffat had three churches as well as a steam gristmill and cotton gin and a variety of other businesses to serve its 200 residents.
