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. As of 1904, the town was a sundown town, where African Americans were not allowed to live. In 1915 or 1916, Evansville annexed Howell. From Wikipedia
