Morn Hill is a rural locality with a handful of farms—at the 2016 census, there were six dwellings housing 17 people.[1] The locality drew its name from the Morn Hill School which opened in 1891[2] but has long since closed. Morn Hill also had a Primitive Methodist church which had opened by 1870[3] and closed soon after 1900.[4]
In the Morn Hill area, the Horrocks Highway (formerly Main North Road) forms the boundary between the federal electoral divisions of Grey (on the west) and Barker (to the east).[2]
