Though nearby Mineral Wells grew rapidly due to its mineral springs, Cool remained a small rural settlement throughout the 20th century. Landmarks include Bat World Sanctuary.
Cool was first settled in the late 19th century as part of the broader westward expansion in North Central Texas. The community developed around agriculture, primarily cotton and cattle ranching. The town's name is believed to have originated from a traveler's remark about the area's refreshing conditions, a story that became local legend. A post office was established in 1906, formalizing the name.
Though nearby Mineral Wells grew rapidly due to its mineral springs, Cool remained a small rural settlement throughout the 20th century. Mechanized farming and urban migration led to a gradual population decline after World War II. Interest in rural living brought modest growth in the late 20th century, and the city was officially incorporated in 1990.
