Maud is a city on the boundary between Pottawatomie and Seminole counties in the U.S. state of Oklahoma.

[4] The locale was named for Maud Stearns, a sister to the wives of two men who owned the first general store.

However, the fence failed to prevent the illegal sale of alcohol to residents of Indian Territory.

In January 1898, a mob lynched two Seminole teenagers, Lincoln McGeisey and Palmer Sampson, by burning them alive near this same post office, in retaliation for their alleged murder of a white woman.

[6] Newspapers reported that the charred bodies remained chained to an oak tree for several days after the mob murdered them.

When one of these men was released from the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth in 1906, a celebratory crowd welcomed him home to Maud.

[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.0 square mile (2.6 km2), all land.
