History
[edit | edit source]The town of Howell was platted in 1885 along the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and was named after Lee Howell, the local L&N freight agent. An L&N rail yard at Howell was completed in 1889. Most residents worked for the L&N.[1][2] As of 1904, the town was a sundown town, where African Americans were not allowed to live.[3] In 1915 or 1916, Evansville annexed Howell.[1][2]
