Whitefield is a town in northwestern Haskell County, Oklahoma, United States.
[5] At the time of its founding, the community that became Whitefield was located in the Moshulatubbee District of the Choctaw Nation, in the Indian Territory.
The camp was named for Confederate Brigadier General Albert Pike, who had persuaded the Five Civilized Tribes to ally with the Confederacy.
[5] After the end of the Civil War, Camp Pike became a Choctaw trading post.
Occasionally, it was patronized by white outlaws such as Belle Starr, who were hiding from the law in the mountains of southern Oklahoma.The Post Office wanted to change the name because of confusion with another post office already known as Oklahoma Station.

Improvements included two groceries, two general stores, a cotton gin and mill, a drugstore, a doctor, and a blacksmith.
