The town was once a trade center and was considered a "booming" town in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At its peak, the population was 200 but by 2007 it had dwindled to 13. It was named for Joe Kackley, the original land owner.[2]
A post office was opened in Kackley in 1888, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1968.[3]
