History

Rockefeller, were interested in extending rail line through Indian Territory, and the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, familiarly called the Katy Railroad, began its corporate existence in 1865 toward that end. Pierpont Morgan, George Denison, and John D. The line reached Bucklucksy in 1872 and Katy Railroad officials named the railway stop McAlester . McAlester was the site of the 2004 trial of Terry Nichols on Oklahoma state charges related to the Oklahoma City bombing (1995), and in January 2007, a devastating ice storm crippled the city, leaving residents without Electric power and water for more than a week. Designation as a single community by the United States Post Office came on July 1, 1907, nearly five months before Oklahoma Statehood, which caused a redrawing of county lines and designations and the majority of Tobucksy County fell within the new lines of Pittsburg County.
