Why this spot

1880s-1954 railroad station and logging town

Kosoma grew as a Frisco railroad water and section-house stop on the Kiamichi River in the Choctaw Nation, with a post office from 1888, and boomed with regional logging. Once the forests were cut it declined steeply through the early 1900s and lost its post office in 1954.View source →
