During the days of Indian Territory, these lands belonged to the Cheyenne-Arapaho tribe. The area that is now Okarche was along the Chisholm Trail which was used between 1867 and 1884 to move cattle from the Texas ranches to the Kansas railheads. This area was opened to white settlement in 1892 and the town of Okarche was established, and incorporated in 1905. A post office was established in 1890. The name OKARCHE is a breakdown of OKlahoma, ARapaho and CHEyenne.

The Okarche post office is a one-story brick building with a flat roof. The centered entrance has glass walls and is located under a metal canopy. The post office counters are open Mon-Fri from 9:00-12:15 and 1:15-4:00, and on Sat. from 9:00-10:00. The lobby is open 24/7.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
