Why this spot
1895-1936 railroad and sawmill stop
Zeta was a stop on the Frisco and Cotton Belt lines and the short Missouri Southeastern Railway to Bloomfield, surrounded by farms and sawmills, with a post office from about 1895 to 1936. A 1917 tornado killed three people there and the depot was burned in 1924.View source →
