Even though there is nothing particularly interesting to see in Cut And Shoot, the post office and City Hall are good places to have your photo taken in a town with a very unusual name.
According to local legend, the town got its name in 1912 when a near-riot started in the center of town over where to locate a church. A small boy, wanting to avoid getting caught up in it, supposedly said, "I'm going to cut around the corner and shoot through the bushes."
