Daisy, Oklahoma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daisy is a small community in Atoka County, Oklahoma on Oklahoma State Highway 43. Located in the northeastern part of the county, Daisy was once a thriving community with a general store, school, and other institution, much like Redden to the south. Currently, very little of the town remains. The old store has closed down and the school as well. Apart from a small number of homes and families (mostly of the Kellogg family), all that remains of the town is a small post office.The post office was opened April 5, 1906. It is said to have been named for Daisy Beck, a local girl.
