COUNTY ORGANIZED:  The area encompassed by the present Atoka County was originally part of Shappaway County in the Pushmataha District of the Choctaw Nation. About 1854, the area was formally designated Atoka County and was retained when Oklahoma became a state in 1907.

COUNTY NAMED FOR:   Choctaw Chief Atoka, leader of a party which migrated from Georgia to Indian Territory in 1834.  He died during the Civil War as a captain in the Confederate Army. 

COUNTY SEAT NAMED FOR: Same as the county.

COURTHOUSES: The first courthouse was a two-story frame building, which was destroyed by fire in a1908.  County offices then moved into a former Federal courthouse and remained there until a new courthouse was completed in 1913.  The current courthouse was completed in 1964.

STANDING: One - 1964 Modern courthouse built of stone, brick, and concrete.
