Moshat is a small, quiet place in Cherokee County, Alabama, in the United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and people living together, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does.
The Story of Moshat
Moshat has a short but interesting history. A long time ago, in 1884, a post office was opened there. This was a very important place for people to send and receive letters and packages.
However, the post office didn't stay open forever. It closed down in 1903. So, it was only active for about 19 years.
How did Moshat get its name? It's quite simple! A family named Moshat visited the area. The people living there decided to name their community after this family. It's a way to remember their visit!
