List of unincorporated communities in Oklahoma

State law allows unincorporated communities, under certain conditions, to incorporate or join another municipality Many unincorporated communities were at one time incorporated but for various reasons no longer have a municipal government.

In Oklahoma, incorporated municipalities may petition for dissolution[1] or be declared dissolved after missing two concurrent municipal elections[2] (held April of odd numbered years).
