"Mooroolbark" has been popularly believed for some time to have the meaning "red earth", leading to extensive use of that meaning in the community. More it has been suggested that "Mooroolbik" is the name given by the local Wurundjeri Aboriginal people. An alternative meaning of Mooroolbark being "the place where the wide waters meet" is recorded by Museum Victoria. Another meaning recorded is "red bark"; the Parish of Mooroolbark was surveyed in 1855, with a township called Brushy Creek standing where North Croydon is today. The name "Mooroolbark" was to be popularised with eventual European settlement in the late 19th century. A rural hub developed around the train station, which opened in 1887 and offered rail access to Melbourne; the Post Office opened shortly after on 15 March 1888.

In order to eliminate the troubles caused by vehicles failing to give way to those coming from other adjoining streets, it was decided to build individual roundabouts at each intersection, employ the standard'give way' road rules.

This has cleared up most of the troubles on Hull Road, but the prospect of passing through the intersection for those who don't know it may be a little daunting. This intersection is referred to by locals as "Five Ways" or "The Mooroolbark Roundabouts". Five Ways can be a waiting game in peak hour traffic; the main shopping district is located along Brice Avenue and Manchester Road, featuring a Coles supermarket, two gymnasiums, two pharmacies, fast food franchises, cafés, hair salons and thrift shops. Mooroolbark has a tavern and wine bar. Brice Avenue, the main shopping strip has a strict alcohol-free policy in place; the Alcohol Free Zone, if breached, may result in a fine of up to $2000. Under this law, anyone carrying an uncorked or unsealed alcoholic beverage, within the Mooroolbark township, can be fined at the discretion of the police. However, this doesn't apply to restaurants with an appropriate licence. Alcohol must be consumed within the licensed premises only, if the beverage is taken outside the premises in the public domain, police can issue a fine.

Mooroolbark has a 16-hour police station. It is located at the corner of Hull and Cambridge Roads, 700 metres from the Mooroolbark train station and town centre.

Stephen R. Marsh is an American game designer and lawyer best known for his contributions to early editions of TSR's Dungeons & Dragons fantasy tabletop role-playing game; some of the creatures he created for the original edition of D&D in 1975 have been included in every subsequent edition of the game. While attending high school in Mountain Home, Marsh began to play military boardgames, his interest led him to attempt to design what would now be called a roleplaying game based on his board games and using The Golden Bough as the basis for a magic system. However, he was unable to come up with a satisfactory system until he borrowed a copy of the published D&D rules from classmate Sandy Petersen. After reading the rules of this new game, Marsh began to correspond with D&D co-creator Gary Gygax. Marsh sent his own vision of an elemental plane of water to Gygax, who incorporated a number of the underwater creatures and magic items into Dave Arneson's Blackmoor supplement published in 1975, to expand on Arneson's swamp and oceanic content.

Marsh's material introduced several new and soon to be iconic aquatic creatures, including the sahuagin and Aquatic Elves. Marsh suggested a new character class, the mystic, that could teleport to various planes of existence via mental powers. Although the character class concept was not published, some of the mental abilities of the mystic were altered and published in the Eldritch Wizardry supplement the following year as the first psionic powers for D&D. Marsh was not paid for his creative contributions to either of these rules supplements. Marsh was credited with "Special Thanks" on the credits page "for Suggestions and Contributions". Marsh claimed that when Gary Gygax was developing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, he convinced Gygax to add a Good and Evil axis to D&D's character alignment system. In 1977, most of Marsh's aquatic creature creations were converted to the new AD&D game system by Gary Gygax for use in the Monster Manual. All of these creatures have been incorporated into each subsequent edition of D&D.

After earning his B. A. from California State University-Los Angeles in 1979, Marsh enrolled in law school at Brigham Young University. During the 1980 summer break, he worked at TSR, where he was lead writer on the 1981 version of Dungeons & Dragons Expert Set, he reviewed and approved licensed Judges Guild products, helped create the minigame Saga, for which he received one royalty payment — the only time he received compensation for creative work other than his salary. Steve Marsh completed law school and was admitted to the bar in 1982, he continued to correspond with Gygax in the hopes of creating a hardcover book for which he would be paid royalties, he convinced Gygax that a rule book about travel to different planes would be worthwhile. Together and Gygax started to develop a new AD&D rulebook, The Planes of Existence, which Gygax mentioned in his column in the March 1980 issue of Dragon. A color cube illustrating how their planes would interface appeared in the May 1983 issue of Dragon.

However, just as the manuscript was being readied for a 1986 publication date, Gygax was forced out of TSR, all Gygax-related projects were shelved, the book was never published. In 2008, several unpublished Lovecraft-inspired monsters created by Marsh for his home campaign were published in Monsters of Myth, an e-book published by the First Edition Society, he attends North Texas RPG Con every year and has been demonstrating examples of plane related play each year. For 2015 those who played in his event were given a three hundred page convention module on the plane of shadows. In 2016 Marsh ran a reprise of City of the Revenant and the Planes of Ice. In 2017 ran 3 scenarios including the City of the Revenant, An OD&D scenario and one other, he was there in 2018 and is on the schedule for three events in 2019. He is backpacking as detailed at ethesis.wordpress.com. That has included playtesting some projects with fellow hikers. Marsh moved to Texas in 1985, he retired on March 15, 2019 after a career where he won over 350 cases at trial or by motion practice or on appeal.

He started blogging September 16, 1997 and now blogs at Ethesis.wordpress.comHe founded ADR Resources, a dispute resolution web site that he still maintains. He was first cited in the Code of Federal Regulations circa 1999.
