The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Enterprise is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Haskell County, Oklahoma, United States. It was first listed as a CDP following the 2010 census. As of the 2020 census, Enterprise had a population of 170. The CDP is in western Haskell County. State highways 9 and 71 intersect in the northern part of the community. Highway 9 leads east 8 miles (13 km) to Whitefield and west 14 miles (23 km) to Eufaula, while Highway 71 leads northeast across Eufaula Dam 14 miles (23 km) to Porum and south 8 miles (13 km) to Quinton. Enterprise is in the valley of Brooken Creek, which flows north to the Canadian River just upstream of Eufaula Dam.

Half of its homes were built before 1988.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Enterprise yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Enterprise is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Enterprise has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Tipton Ridge School in Carlton Landing, 10.3 miles away.

How a place gets listed

1Talk to the stateEvery nomination goes through the State Historic Preservation Office. Owners, towns and historical societies can start one.
2Try a local or state list firstMany states keep their own register with a shorter form, a common first step for old barns, halls and schoolhouses.
3Write it upA nomination covers the history, photos and a map. Tipton Ridge School’s page links to a real one.
