Cedar Gap, at an elevation of 1,694 feet (516 m), [3] was established in 1882 as a station on the Springfield – Memphis line of the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway. It was named for the cedar trees and the topographic "gaps" which had to be bridged by the railroad in the more rugged terrain of the Lead Hill area 1.8 miles (2.9 km) to the east, the second highest point in Missouri at 1,744 feet (532 m).
