History
Variant names were "Stone House" and "Barnetsville". A post office called Stone House was established in 1858, and the name was changed to Barnetsville in 1875. For a brief period of time, the name was Marysville, after a citizen named Mary Justice. The name changed to Barnett in 1880, when the town was rebuilt following a tornado. The present name is after one Mr. Barnet, an early settler.
The Jesse Ratcliff House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
