The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The land that would become Hochatown was owned by the Choctaw tribe, with twelve families moving into the area in the 1880s. Like Broken Bow, Hochatown grew around the Choctaw Lumber and Coal Company (later named Dierks Forests), gaining a post office in 1894. By 1900 it had become a bustling town. The lumber company built a railroad spur between Hochatown and the community of Eagletown to facilitate export of logs.
At the time of its founding, Hochatown was located in Bok Tuklo County of the Apukshunnubbee District, one of three administrative super-regions comprising the Choctaw Nation.
