A post office was established here in the land of the Creeks on July 6, 1899. The town was named for Tams Bixby, chairman of the Dawes Commission, a very controversial Act that divided up Indian national lands into individual ownership and established the Indian Rolls of ancestorship.

The town was established as a farming area in the rich river bottom of the Arkansas River, and remained so well into the 20th Century. Cotton, wheat and alfalfa, and in the '30s vegetable truck farming, supported the citizens of Bixby. When the oil fields were discovered in 1913, oil became an additional backbone of the community.

Washington Irving camped in the area now known as Bixby, on this trip West in 1832.

The City celebrates each May with the Bixby BBQ and Blues Festival, and in June with the Green Corn Festival.

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.
