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.

A group of Cherokee were forced along the northern route of the Trail of Tears. During this forced march, they stopped in Cassville, Missouri. During their stay, multiple Cherokee women were the victims of mass rape by citizens of Cassville.

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.

The Cassville Ranger Station Historic District, Natural Bridge Archaeological Site, and six sites in Roaring River State Park are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
