The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗McDougal was established in 1914 as a stop along a branch line of the Butler County Railroad connecting nearby Piggott with Poplar Bluff, Missouri, and serving the flourishing timber industry in the area. The city was probably named for a railroad worker. A depot and general store were constructed in 1914, and a post office opened in 1916. McDougal incorporated in 1954.

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean McDougal has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is County Home Cemetery in Piggott, 10.6 miles away.
