Very few companies that started in 1851 are still around today to talk about it! Part of the magic of our company is the sense of tradition and excellence our employees and our customers feel, and that traces its roots back to Patrick Morgan and the horse-drawn moving and storage business he started when he was 24 years old. There is still a Morgan at the helm today.
When Morgan Manhattan moved its first family in 1851, Broadway was just a quiet road and 42nd Street was still partly pastureland! Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Longfellow and Daniel Webster were still in their prime, and Millard Fillmore was president. Tiffany’s, which started as a small notions store, was growing – and Lord and Taylor (originally a modest dry goods store) was prospering. Brooks Brothers was going strong, but Macy’s hadn’t opened a store yet. Morgan-Manhattan is an old timer indeed!
In the beginning, the company name was simply Morgan and Brother. Patrick and his brother – with their fine horse-drawn rig – were in great demand in an era when the two-wheeled handcart was the standard vehicle used to move entire households and businesses. We are proud that over the years the most prominent New York area families and businesses have trusted us with the moving and storage of their priceless antiques, fine art, rare wines and more. Morgan Manhattan has a history as the “mover of choice” when care and attention to detail are important considerations – whether one is extremely wealthy or just especially concerned about his possessions.
We operate seven facilities in Manhattan and the surrounding metropolitan area, as well as a sizeable fleet of modern moving vans. Our storage facilities are exceedingly secure and well maintained. In addition to the customary storage of household goods, we are leaders in the storage of fine art, rare wines (in refrigerated vaults), office records, and even automobiles. We move families to scores of countries and all 50 states every year.
It’s a long way back to 1851, but customers know that the fifth generation of the same Morgan family is carrying on the tradition even now. We are proud that many of the same men and women who learned the business from one of the Morgans as youngsters are still with us – providing constancy and a legacy that is rare in business today. Our crews undergo extensive and ongoing training in the best methods of moving and packing. Whether our customer is moving to Florida, Japan, or just to the apartment upstairs – these motivated people will bring to each move the same dedication as our forebears did.
In an age of high volume and lesser quality service companies, it is powerful to be associated with a company who pays attention to the important details that make moving a wonderful experience for people rather than a dreaded experience. Our Feedback Page highlights just a few of our successes in this regard.
And, none of us is resting on our laurels. We remain committed to the same traditions that got us to where we are today. We stand by our slogan: You Simply Can’t Find a Better Moving Company.

If you are moving to a different state, the charges will be based on the weight of your
shipment and mileage—these are referred to as the transportation charges.
There are a variety of different moving charges that can potentially appear on your estimate,
so be sure to ask your relocation specialist to explain each charge for you.
Some additional charges that may appear include packing, crating, valuation or coverage,
bulky article charge (for oversized items), and extra labor. Again, please be certain you
fully understand these charges so that you can accurately compare the estimates you receive.
All movers are required to prepare an order for service before they transport your shipment.
The order for service provides you with written confirmation of the moving services that you
requested to be performed in conjunction with your shipment. It also lists the agreed upon
dates for the pickup and delivery of your shipment and amount of valuation that you requested,
along with any special services that you ordered.
It also features a place and telephone number where the mover can contact you during the move.
Additionally, the order for service shows the charges that you will be assessed for your
household move or corporate relocation. If you are moving under a non-binding estimate,
the order for service will indicate the amount of the estimated non-binding charges,
the method of payment for the charges and, in cases where the actual charges exceed the
non-binding estimate, the maximum amount that you are required to pay at the time of delivery
in order to obtain possession of your shipment (you will have 30 days following delivery to
pay the balance of the charges due). If you are moving under a binding estimate,
the order for service will show the charges that you will be required to pay at delivery,
based on the binding estimate and the terms of payment. You and your mover must sign the
order for service.
