The marker reads:

Original Hochatown was 5 miles east. The church and cemetery relocated during construction of Broken Bow Lake in 1965. Pre-historic hunters left spear points along the river 6000 B.C. Caddo Indians occupied this land from 1000 A.D. to 1791 A.D. Named for Choctaw Indian Hocha, who arrived on the Trail of Tears in 1833. White settlers moved here in 1900.
