Nowhere Oklahoma

This week our journey takes us to Nowhere, Oklahoma (north of Fort Cobb) in Caddo County. AND ALSO... back to the era of 1937-38 in Northwestern Oklahoma where the Castle On The Hill towered over the prairies of Woods County, Oklahoma before it burned March, 1935.

Back to Nowhere, though! If you are looking for a particular spot to vacation this Spring & Summer, why not try SOMEWHERE like Nowhere, Oklahoma USA. The elevation is 1343. It is located at the Southeast end of Fort Cobb Reservoir, 8.9 km (5.5 mi) SSW of Albert and 22 km (14 mi) NW of Anadarko, Oklahoma, Caddo County. We understand the population of Nowhere is 3.

Hey, Charlie! Remember last Fall when you sent me a photo of a group posing in front of a water tower in Nowhere, Oklahoma? - Vol. 6, Iss 44, The OkieLegacy - and asked where it was located? Well! Here is what we know so far about Nowhere, Oklahoma... In the early 1970s, a couple moved from California to what is now known as Nowhere, Oklahoma. The couple bought and operated Ben's Boathouse. The lady of Nowhere coined the name Nowhere, simply because that is exactly where she felt she was! Her husband had a sense of humor because painted on the water tower beside the store reads Nowhere, Okla. in bold red letters. After spending several years in Oklahoma, the couple resolved to make their way back to California. It was in 1979 when they sold the store to current owner, Jerry Howell and his family (Jerry, his wife and daughter). Jerry decided to keep the original name of Nowhere. As the lake area developed and visitors began coming from all across the state and country, the name caught on and soon became a hit. There is no postoffice in Nowhere, Oklahoma, BUT... is there a newspaper called "The Nothing?"   |  View or Add Comments (2 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
