Laid out in 1898 on land owned by J. M. Crabtree, Morse was settled by farmers from Illinois and Iowa and incorporated as a village in 1906. The Southern Pacific Railroad had built a line here in 1895 connecting Midland and Gueydan and named it Morse Station after the railroad’s New Orleans-based passenger agent, Col.
