History
The land which would be called Cassville was platted in 1845. A post office was set up the same year. The community was named after Lewis Cass, a former United States Senator and Secretary of War. Cassville was incorporated on March 3, 1847.
During the forced removal of the Cherokee people along the Trail of Tears, a group traveling the northern route made a stop in Cassville, Missouri. According to the journal of Reverend Daniel S. Butrick, who accompanied the Cherokee on their journey.
This event is one of many documented instances of violence against Cherokee people during their forced relocation under the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The Trail of Tears resulted in the deaths of thousands of Cherokee due to exposure, disease, and mistreatment by both U.S. government agents and civilians.
Cassville served as the Confederate capital of Missouri for one week from October 31 to November 7, 1861. This ended abruptly when the duly elected governor of the State, Claiborne F. Jackson, and his political and military allies were pushed further south by the invading Union army. The Battle of Pea Ridge later secured Missouri for the Union.
The city was connected by rail via the Cassville & Exeter Railroad from July 4, 1896, to September 11, 1956.
