Oklahoma Place Names, rev ed
By George H. Shirk
"Place names and their known or legendary meanings reflect much of a region’s past life....The main body of the text is alphabetical by names. Each entry locates the place, gives dates when there was a post office, and gives the source of the name. There is a list of contributors, who responded to newspaper appeal for information, and a useful bibliography. There are five outline maps which show the history of the formation of the state from Indian Territory days to the modern county system."-Choice
