The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗A United States Post Office opened at this location on December 6, 1887. Charles F. Igo was the first postmaster.
In its early days, Albion was a sawmill town in the Indian Territory. Later, it became a trading center in an agricultural region in which cotton and other crops were grown.
During 1885–6, the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway, more popularly known as the "Frisco", built a line from north to south through the Choctaw Nation, connecting Fort Smith, Arkansas, with Paris, Texas. The site of Albion was selected because of its proximity to the Kiamichi River, with its abundant water supply. Adjacent station stops were established at Talihina to the north and Kiamichi to the south.
