The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (Rock Island) extended a line from Chickasha to the northern part of the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Reservation in 1899. It terminated about two miles from an existing tent city called Oakdale, consisting of a store and post office on the former Cheyenne and Arapaho Reservation. The Oakdale post office was renamed Mountain View, honoring the nearby Wichita Mountains, on October 9, 1900.

Nothing in Mountain View is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Mountain View has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Fort Cobb Site in Fort Cobb, 18.8 miles away.
