The village was in the Central New York Military Tract and is on the site of a former native village.
Moravia village was founded in 1789 by John Stoyell, a veteran. It was then called "Owasco Flats". The village of Moravia was incorporated in 1837 and re-incorporated in 1859 when enlarged.
The Powers Library, erected in 1880, is the oldest continuously used library in New York.
Dozens of Italianate houses built in the late 1800s, plus many other residences, churches, a cemetery, and other properties in the village are documented, and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places either as individual buildings or within historic districts: see National Register of Historic Places listings in Cayuga County, New York.
