==History==
Atoka was founded by the Choctaw Indians in the 1850s,〔Maine, Priscilla A. ("Atoka," ) ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture.'' Oklahoma Historical Society. Accessed September 1, 2015.〕 and named for Captain Atoka, a leader of the Choctaw Nation and the signer of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, which began the process of re-locating the Choctaw people from Mississippi to Oklahoma in 1830. The name "Atoka" is derived from the Choctaw word ''hitoka'' (or ''hetoka''), which means "ball ground" in English.〔(Wright, Muriel H. "Organization of Counties in the Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations." ) In: ''Chronicles of Oklahoma''.Volume 8, Number 3. (September 1930.) Retrieved August 2, 2013.〕 He is believed to be buried near the town of Farris.
