There is something endlessly charming about small towns, especially in terms of culture. There’s always something to discover in teeny tiny communities, particularly when you’re assessing the smallest towns in Oklahoma. Some are in the country far away from big cities, while others are just around the corner from all the hustle and bustle. Here are 12 of Oklahoma’s tiniest towns:
- Adair
flickr/oakleyoriginals Named after two Cherokee brothers, William Adair and Walter Thompson Adair, this town’s population is 820. It is conveniently located about 10 miles north of Pryor.
- Arcadia
flickr/meltedplastic Arcadia is home to two famous Route 66 landmarks, Round Barn and Pops. With just over 250 residents, Arcadia sees more visitors than that each day.
- Blair
flickr/wesley friar Located in the southwestern part of the state, Blair has a population of 806. It is the birthplace of former major league baseball player Bob Stephenson.
- Carmen
flickr/beckymccray Carmen has only 355 people and is located in Alfalfa County. It is only a total of 1.5 square miles.
- Chattanooga
flickr/j. stephen conn Chattanooga has just under 500 residents and is located in two counties, Comanche and Tillman.
- Clayton
flickr/granger meador With so much beauty around Clayton, you might be surprised the population is only 795. It is a regional trading center and the beautiful Sardis Lake is only a few miles away. The mountains top out at 1,600 ft. in elevation.
- Depew

- Okay

- Sentinel
facebook/The-Red-Barn-Drive-Thru If you’ve never been to Washita County, you’ll be surprised at how petite its population is. Around 900 people live in Sentinel and enjoy quiet small town living in southwestern Oklahoma… a notable amount when you consider that the county seat has a mere 2,915 residents.
- Tupelo

- Vici
