Arkoma is a town in LeFlore County, Oklahoma, United States.

Throughout its history, Arkoma has served as a "bedroom community" because many residents commuted to work in Fort Smith.

[4] The community of Arkoma was established circa 1911 on land owned by Captain James Reynolds, a Civil War veteran who had married into the Choctaw Nation.

He persuaded the Fort Smith Light and Traction Company to construct tracks and operate an electric trolley route to his new community.

Arkoma is located on the same side of the Arkansas River as Fort Smith, Arkansas,[4] and is bounded by the Poteau River to the west and north, and the Arkansas-Oklahoma state line to the east.

Arkoma enjoys a temperate climate with often mild winters and hot summers.
