The present town of Macomb began as a community named Burnett on the land allotment owned by on State Highway 59B when the [[Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway]] Burnett, entrepreneurs from Burnett, moved to the current site.  A post office, originally designated as McComb, opened at the new site on May 29, 1903. The post office and the town had been named for a Santa Fe engineer named Macomb.
