52 Towns In Alfalfa County...

My sister-in-law Mary Erskine had collected some information on the towns in Alfalfa County in her research for the Woods County Genealogists. On her retirement she gave me the material. I decided to organize it and have been adding to it. I have started a book about The 52 Towns in Alfalfa County. I found in the Town and Place Locations book by Oklahoma Department of Highways, 52 towns in the county. Some had several names over the years but I am trying to complete this thanks to newspaper articles and other resources. The definition I find is that anywhere there was a a postoffice it was considered a town. Most postoffices were in general stores in the early days. Towns seem to survive wherever there was a railroad. I will be glad to send information to you or anyone else that is looking for towns. I found several towns with different names at some time in history.
