description: In 1839 Isaac Morley and other Latter-day Saints settled in this vicinity. At first they were scattered, but in June 1843 decided to build a new town on Morley's land. The village was named Yelrome (Morley spelled backwards). They built log homes and cabins, farmed, operated a variety of shops and a school. Between 400 and 500 residents eventually lived in the settlement. In September 1845, when Mormons and non-Mormons clashed in Hancock County, the latter torched scores of Morley’s Settlement houses and outbuildings. Most of the residents fled to Nauvoo for safety. Morley’s Settlement, mostly reduced to ashes, disappeared. In 1855 the present town of Tioga was founded on the site of Yelrome.?
