Zoraya, Oklahoma

Zoraya, pronounced "Zoray", is a ghost town in western Pushmataha County, Oklahoma, United States, west of Miller.

A United States Post Office opened at Zoraya, Indian Territory on April 22, 1905, and closed on October 31, 1919.

[3] During the days of the Indian Territory, the United States government set aside 1-acre (4,000 m2) of land for use by the church and a community school, which taught both white and Choctaw students.

Circa 1900, Pleasant Cove merged with another Cumberland Presbyterian Church congregation approximately eight miles (13 km) away, at Yellow Spring, or “Kulli Lakna” in the Choctaw language.

According to historical accounts Pleasant Cove, or Zoraya, was an important regional political center in the Choctaw Nation.
