Moran Township is a township in Todd County, Minnesota, United States. The population was 515 at the 2000 census. By the 2020 census the population had declined to 489.[1] Moran Township was organized in 1877, and named after Moran Creek which joins the Long Prairie River in the township. Upham says that Moran Creek was named for an early lumberman. He also writes that there was a post office called Miram Brook there from 1874 - ’76. At a later date the post office was transferred to William J. Graves hotel in the village of Moran. The post office closed in 1914.
