The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Cole was founded on 10 acres (40,000 m2) of land donated by Mrs. A. E. Cunningham and Judge Presley Cole. The town was named "Cole" after it was decided "Cunningham" was too long a name. Cole's first post office, created in 1912, was in the Cunningham home, though it was moved later to Read's General Merchandise Store.
The community was hit by an EF3 tornado on the evening of April 19, 2023, destroying multiple houses and killing two people.
