Autwine is a ghost town in Kay County, Oklahoma, United States, formerly known as Pierceton and Virginia City.
Its post office was named Pierceton and the railroad called the station Arta.
A meeting was held to determine a single name for the town, and they agreed upon Autwine.
In one version, the Santa Fe railroad agent misspelled the name and refused to change it.
In the other, the town clerk's poor penmanship on a record caused the name to come back from Washington as Autwine instead of Antwine.
At the turn of the century, the town had two elevators, a stockyard, and implement yard, a bank, ten other business establishments, and a doctor.
