History

The community grew up around a Louisville and Nashville Railroad switching yard and maintenance facility, first constructed in 1920. The local post office (est. 1922) was originally known as “Shonn”, from local slang for a rail siding. The name “Loyall” was adopted in 1932. It remains unclear if it honors a company official or some other resident.
