Questions

Common questions.

Where does the name Cabool come from?

Cabool lies in the Ozarks of south-central Missouri. Its name most likely comes from Kabul, Afghanistan, and local historians say railroad surveyors probably chose it.

What was Cabool called before it got its name?

The post office was called Cedar Bluff and stood just east of Cabool until it moved into Cabool in 1883.

How did the railroad shape Cabool?

The Kansas City, Springfield & Memphis Railroad ran through the county, the depot grounds sat at the foot of Cedar Street, and some of the original survey blocks lay south of the tracks.

Are sinkholes and flood zones a concern for Missouri homebuyers?

Missouri DNR reports more than 16,000 known sinkholes, and says sinkholes can damage home foundations and are hard to predict. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood, and FEMA reports almost one-third of flood insurance claims come from outside high-risk zones. Buyers in the Ozarks should check both the sinkhole history and the property's FEMA flood zone.
