==History==
The area now comprising Haskell County was created at statehood from the former San Boise County of the Choctaw Nation in Indian Territory. An election in 1908 picked Stigler over Keota and Whitefield as the county seat.〔( Larry O'Dell, "Haskell County." ) ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture''.] Retrieved October 2, 2013.〕
Coal mining in the early 20th Century created jobs and railroads to southern Haskell County. San Bois Coal Company built more than four hundred company houses in McCurtain and Chant (two towns that eventually merged into one) for their miners. In 1912 a large, underground explosion rocked the Number Two mine at McCurtain, killing seventy-three miners and bankrupting the San Boise Company.〔
Agriculture was the most important component of the county economy in the early 20th Century. Cotton was the most important crop, followed by corn and oats. The collapse of cotton prices and the Great Depression caused a drop in population as well as farm acreage. In 1934 the Federal Emergency Relief Administration helped over 85 percent of Haskell County's population. Ranching supplanted farming, which was forced to diversify, By 1964, livestock accounted for about 70 percent of the county's revenues.〔
