Ringold, Oklahoma

Ringold is an unincorporated community in western McCurtain County, Oklahoma, United States, 12 miles northwest of Wright City.

A United States Post Office opened at Burwell, Indian Territory on October 31, 1906.

The community was named after Ringold, Texas, from which a number of its early European-American settlers migrated.

[1] Until the advent of Oklahoma's statehood, Burwell was located in Cedar County, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory.

In contrast to Burwell/Ringold, some other communities in the area, such as Rattan, are now included in Pushmataha County.
