==History==
The present town of Macomb began as a community named Burnett on the land allotment owned by on State Highway 59B. when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Burnett, entrepreneurs from Burnett, moved to the current site. A post office, originally designated as McComb, opened at the new site on May 29, 1903. The post office and the town had been named for a Santa Fe engineer named Macomb. The names of the town and post office were changed to Macomb on July 16, 1915, to correct the spelling.〔(Bessie Cope, "Macomb." , ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture.'' ) Accessed May 23, 2015.〕
By the end of 1904, the town newspaper, ''McComb Herald,'' claimed the population was 350 and coined the nickname, "Queen City of South Pottawatomie County." 〔 The 1910 census reported a population of only 166. The 1920 census showed 281 residents. Hard times came when a prolonged drought caused the cotton crops to fail. In 1930, there were only 197 inhabitants. People moved away from the area; the 1950 census reported 123 residents. The number fell to 61 by the 2000 census.〔
