Ramona, Oklahoma

Ramona is a town in Washington County, Oklahoma, United States.

The town began as Bon-Ton, but changed its name to Ramona in 1899 in honor of the Helen Hunt Jackson novel of the same name.

When the oil dried up, there was no other industry to support Ramona, so the town began to die out.

Under the leadership of the former mayor, the late Robert Fiddler, the police department was reinstated.

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

The town is one of four communities that makes up the consolidated Caney Valley School District.
