We are only 1200 citizens with in the town limits at our last census, but our surrounding areas in our mountains bring lots of folks into town. In a 25 mile radius we take in Clayton, Buffalo Valley, Tuskahoma, Albion, Honobia, Whitesboro and Muse just to call out these beautiful communities.

We are becoming a medical economy with the Choctaw Nation Hospital and Clinics here, the State of Oklahoma Veterans Facility, small mountain ranches and many home based businesses. We have a home building supply, a furniture store, and a few destination points that support our tourism activities.

Our citizenry is a people that enjoy the outdoors taking care of their animals on the farms and ranches, or going out to their family’s hunting camp out in the surrounding mountains.
