Cabool is a city in Texas County, Missouri, United States.

The British Army had just withdrawn from Kabul at the end of the Second Anglo-Afghan War the year before.

As local legend goes, one of the construction engineers who built the railroad through Cabool also worked on railroad construction in Afghanistan and thought this area of southern Texas County looked similar to the region of Kabul, Afghanistan.

The story continues with the narrative that Chief Kabul and his sweetheart jumped ( into the "onyx pool" ) together to their deaths off Cedar Bluff at Cabool, as their parents disapproved of their relationship.
