Fort Coffee is a town in Le Flore County, Oklahoma, United States.

Originally constructed as a U. S. Army fort in 1834, it was named for U. S. General John Coffee, a veteran of the Seminole Wars.

[5] The town of Fort Coffee traces its beginnings to 1832, when the Choctaw Indian tribe was removed from the southeastern United States and transported to land in the eastern part of Indian Territory (now in the state of Oklahoma).

Most of the travel was by water, and the site of Fort Coffee became a port on the Arkansas River.

The site of Fort Coffee was located in Skullyville County, a part of the Moshulatubbee District of the Choctaw Nation.

This school continued until the outbreak of the Civil War, when Confederate forces commanded by General Stand Watie occupied the site.

Many of these were legally adopted into the Choctaw Nation in 1885, thus qualifying for land allotments by the Dawes Commission.
