A farming and textile centre originally named Lawrenceville after the Irish farmer who formalised its settlement during the 1800s, the village took its enduring moniker from the Voortrekker description of its river mooi translates as pretty . In Zulu, however, the river is Mpofana Place of the Eland.
Mooi River forms part of the popular Midlands Meander self-drive arts and crafts route, while all around are opportunities for outdoor recreation.
