The story so far
from Wikipedia & the U.S. CensusColeman is a small unincorporated community and census-designated place in Johnston County, Oklahoma, United States. The town was previously known as Ego, which was the name assigned to the post office when it was established in 1895. The post office name was officially changed to "Coleman" on September 10, 1910 due to a tornado that destroyed the town. The Census Bureau defined a census-designated place ("CDP") for Coleman in 2015; the 2010 population within the 2015 CDP boundary was 319 and contained 154 housing units. The population was 290 as of the 2020 Census. Coleman has its own schooling system and 2 general stores.
Half of its homes were built before 1986.

Nothing in Coleman is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Coleman has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Chickasaw National Capitols in Milburn, 7.2 miles away.
