Okay, Oklahoma

Okay is a town along the east bank of the Verdigris River in Wagoner County, Oklahoma, United States.

[4] Okay's history as a community began circa 1806, when a French trader named Joseph Bogy established a trading post in the Three Forks area of what would eventually become the state of Oklahoma.

For a while, the Osage tribe claimed ownership of the land, which they ceded to the Western Cherokees before the Trail of Tears.

[8][9] The St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway called a nearby switch Coretta, and the US Post Office adopted the name in 1891.

[14] A fire destroyed most of the business district in 1936, including two general stores, a church, the post office, and two vacant buildings.

[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.8 square miles (2.1 km2), all land.
