A post office called Boston was established in 1891,[2] however to avoid confusion with Boston, Massachusetts, it was renamed after Mora, Sweden, the native home of an early postmaster.[3] This post office remained in operation until 1942.[2] By 1980, all remnants of the original settlement had been removed and Mora came to refer to a campground and other facilities about 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) away related to Olympic National Park.[1]
