Colbert is a town in Bryan County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 1,140 at the 2010 census, a 7 percent increase from 1,065 at the 2000 census.〔(CensusViewer:Colbert, Oklahoma Population )〕 It was incorporated in 1939. The town was named after Benjamin "Frank" Franklin Colbert (1826/1828-1893), a Chickasaw and great-grandson of the Scots trader James Logan Colbert and his Chickasaw wife ''Minta Hoye'', who had five sons. It is also apart of the Texoma region.
==History==
Frank Colbert migrated from Mississippi to Indian Territory in 1846, and founded a large family there. He was a great-grandson of James Logan Colbert and his Chickasaw wife ''Minta Hoye''.〔("Benjamin Franklin Colbert" ), Descendants of James Logan Colbert, accessed 12 December 2011〕
As the Chickasaw had a matrilineal system, they considered children to be born into the mother's clan; those with multicultural ancestry were also accepted into the mother's clan. Sons gained hereditary leadership positions through their mother's people. Generations of mixed-race Colbert men were prominent leaders among the Chickasaw for most of the 19th century.〔Pate, James P. (Colbert, George," ) ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture'', Oklahoma Historical Society, 2009. Accessed April 15, 2015.〕
In 1853 Colbert established a ferry across the Red River, to help provide passage for travelers and settlers. The Colbert's Ferry landing site is on the National Register of Historic Places. Colbert became a successful cotton planter and owned 25 slaves before the American Civil War broke out. Because of his importance to the town's early history, it was named for him.〔Milligan, James C. ("Colbert," ) ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture'', Oklahoma Historical Society, 2009. Accessed April 15, 2015.〕
