The community used to be known as “Lone Oak,” a moniker that originated because children once played baseball in a field off Highway 13 where a lone oak tree stood. The name Lone Oak has survived on signs identifying roads such as Lone Oak Lane and Lone Oak Station Road. Cunningham also hosts the annual political stomping ground, the Lone Oak Picnic.
Some Cunningham residents like to call the community by its nickname – Boogersville. Mary Harrison said her mother was once owner of the Boogersville Café in the section between Lone Oak and Shiloh. A bus driver, Josh Littleton, would let people off near the café and say, “All off for Boogersville.” Harrison did not know where the café name came from. She said the café was eventually replaced by an apartment building.
The community’s official name eventually changed from Lone Oak to Cunningham, after an influential resident.
