This 2000 person town was once the site of two rival fur trading posts, the North West Company and the X.Y. Company in 1801. Neither post lasted a year, and the first permanent settlement came in 1874. The town is named for Manitoba's second lieutenant governor (1872 -1877), Alexander Morris who was also a member of Sir John A Macdonald's federal cabinet and the first Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench in Manitoba.

Annual events include the Morris Ag-Expo (first weekend in June), Manitoba Stampede and Agricultural Exhibition (mid-July) one of the country's largest rodeos
