Bray, OK - 73012 - U.S. Post Offices on Waymarking.com

Coming in to Bray, OK on Highway 29, we were unable to find the post office and decided to stop in the local convenience store and ask. When what to our surprise did we find? A sign on the convenience store showing that the post office was inside! Bray is not listed on the USPS website and it is possible that this is a way station from Marlow's post office.

Bray is situated on State Highway 29, nine miles east of Marlow in north-central Stephens County. A post office was established here on November 24, 1908. The town was named for Thomas W. Bray, its first Postmaster.

In addition to cotton farming, oil and gas activity attracted much attention over the years. In 1977 members of the Bray community incorporated the town to avoid annexation by Marlow or Duncan. Encompassing a total of sixty-six square miles, larger than many major cities, the town had a main street that extended for eight miles. Despite the expansive city limits, the town remained overwhelmingly rural.

In the late 1910s Bray had an unofficial population of 55. At the time of its incorporation in the mid-1970s the number stood at 650, and by 1990 the town claimed 925 citizens. This number continued to climb, and in 2000 there were 1,035 persons residing within the city limits. The town has never had a local newspaper. Most residents worked in nearby larger towns.
