Oktoc, Mississippi

Oktoc is an unincorporated community in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi. Once known as "The Dairy Capital of the South," Oktoc is now home to several defunct dairy farms including Oak Ayr and Mactoc Farms, the largest two in the community. Oktoc has the oldest community club in the state and has not missed one single meeting since its beginning in 1927.[1][2]

Oktoc is served by East Oktibbeha High School, which was formed by the consolidation of B.L. Moor High School and Alexander High School. Moor High was the Alma mater of Jerry Rice.[3]
