Morges was officially planned and laid out in 1831. This was done by two people named Samuel Oswalt and John Waggoner. They set up the community along an important road. This road was built by Bezaleel Wells and connected the cities of Canton and Steubenville, Ohio.

A special building in Morges, called St. Mary's of Morges, is very important. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This means it is recognized for its historical value and is protected.
