Talk:Okay, Oklahoma

Okay, Oklahoma and Sam Houston, Father of Texas
At one time, Okay, Oklahoma was known as Wigwam Neosho and had a trading post founded and operated by Sam Houston. Houston, who was an adopted member of the Cherokee Tribe, settled in Wigwam, Neosho after his first marriage failed and he had left the office of Governor of Tennessee.

Houston went on to leave Indian Territory to go to Texas on to great fame as the Father of Texas Independence.

What is the history?
It is of note that this location is called "Okay, OK", does anyone know the origin of the name, or any anecdotal information about why it is called "Okay"?

The Town of Okay was named after a truck factory that had made its home along the Verdigris river prior to the decade of depression. The town had previous names of "Falls City," "North Muskogee," and "Rex." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.173.36.16 (talk) 14:32, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Forget the history, what does this page exist? I only googled this place because CNN has this whimsical habit of reporting the weather in places with names that make me smile. Seriously, a website for a town (read: crossroads) of <600 people, complete with demographics? I live in a high-rise condo with almost three times the number of residents, including someone more notable than this crossroad's most notable resident. My condo will never have a wiki page. I do like that I read that it is sometimes written on snail mail as OK,OK. That's neat.

I imagine the postcards:

Dear ex-husband, you will never get custody of the kids. Edith. OK, OK. Dear Edith: As if I am paying you child support. Ralph. OK, OK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.80.96.78 (talk) 20:52, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
