Skullyville (also spelled Scullyville) is an unincorporated rural community in Le Flore County, Oklahoma, United States.

During the Civil War, after the Choctaw allied with the Confederacy, the town suffered serious damage in warfare.

The US Indian agent distributed annuity payments here, and a trading and business community developed around the post.

[3][failed verification] The Choctaw designated Skullyville, then known as "Oak Lodge", as county seat of Skullyville County, the capital of the Moshulatubbee District of the Nation, and as the capital of the Choctaw Nation.

Walker's Station, a stage stop on the Butterfield Overland Mail route, was located in Skullyville.

[2] In 1834 the US Army built Fort Coffee at Swallow Rock, about 3 miles (5 km) north of the Choctaw Agency.

The facility was transferred to Methodist missionaries, who adapted it as a boys' school, known as Fort Coffee Academy.

[2] During the mid-1840s, the Methodist Church established New Hope Seminary, a girls' school, in Skullyville.

After the Kansas City Southern Railway bypassed the town in 1895, the local businessmen moved to Spiro, the closest railroad station.

When the post office closed in 1917, this event essentially marked the death of the community.
