Why this spot

1886-1902 cattle trail trading town

Navajoe started with a general store in 1886 near the Western Cattle Trail and the Fort Sill reservation, and became a trade center for settlers, cowhands and Comanches with stores, saloons, churches and a school. The railroad bypassed it in 1902 and its businesses moved away.View source →
