According to one local legend, Cut and Shoot was named after a 1912 community confrontation that almost led to violence. According to differing versions of the story, the dispute was either over:
- The design of a new steeple for the town's only church,
- The issue of who should be allowed to preach there,or
- The conflicting land claims among church members.
Whatever the circumstances were, a small boy at the scene reportedly declared "I'm going to cut around the corner and shoot through the bushes in a minute!" This statement apparently stayed in the residents' minds and was eventually adopted as the town's name.
Another local legend says that Cut and Shoot's name is derived from racist terminology dating back to the town's origins. The town of Cut and Shoot bears a black mark for its racist history, including the existence of a hanging tree that was used on African Americans prior to the civil rights movement. African Americans, also known as Afro-Americans or black Americans, are an ethnic group in the United States of America whose ancestors, usually in predominant part, were indigenous to Sub-Saharan and West Africa. ...
