I haven’t seen a state map lately, but for the longest time, the smallest city in Oklahoma (on the official map, anyway) was Canadian Club City, in Canadian County, just west of OKC, population 1. It was, as I recall, a collection of bars that had only one permanent resident, and he was the mayor, chief of police, and everything else.

Remember when they renamed the town of Agra to Viagra?

I didn't think it was that long ago.

24 September 2003 · News · World News

The town of Agra Oklahoma has changed its name to “Viagra” as a result of a radio contest.

It started as a challenge from a country radio station called ‘The Twister,’ when the station offered the town free concert tickets if it would rename Agra to Viagra. City leaders erected the sign early Friday morning.

The city council voted unanimously for the name change, hoping for good publicity.


But like the pill, the name change will not last long – the name will change back after one week.

Because the town lived up to the challenge, all of Viagra’s 370 residents are getting a ticket to a country music concert in Tulsa.

Several years ago my brother started a thread on the SASS Saloon about worst bars you’ve ever been in. SASS has members from all over the world, and many American Vets who have been stationed all over the world. Bars in places all over the the world were mentioned, but somewhere between 25 and 50 percent of all responses mentioned bars in McCurtain County.

Here, but occasionally There.
Slapout, Gotebo, Cleveland, St. Louis, Duke, Gould. I've been to all of em.

I was about to think that no one was going to remember Slapout.

To add to things, Texas County residents once elected a dead candidate for Judge. But to top it all off, Cimarron County (my old stomping grounds) was the epicenter of the Dust Bowl.
