Yarbo is a shortened form of Yarborough and is named for the first postmaster, Robert E. Yarborough.[2] A post office operated under the name Yarbo from 1917 to 1954.[3] In 1918, the Ingram-Day Lumber Company, based in Lyman, Mississippi, purchased the Yarborough Lumber Company's plant in Yarbo. The plant was able to produce up to 40,000 feet of lumber per day.[4] Dry kilns were eventually installed at the plant in Yarbo.[5]
