How McCool Junction Was Named
McCool Junction was originally known as the city of McCool, Nebraska. It was platted in 1886, when the railroad was extended to that location. The city was named for Daniel McCool, a railroad official. In 1888, two years after its founding, McCool became the junction of two railroads, the Kansas City and Omaha railroads. The name of the town was changed to McCool Junction in 1888 to reflect the addition of the second railroad line.
