Texola, Oklahoma was officially established as a town in 1901. It was founded as a result of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad (CO&G) extending its tracks through the area, leading to the development of the town. Texola’s early economy was closely tied to the railroad and agriculture, and it later became a notable stop along the historic Route 66.
