McCurtain County is located in the southeastern corner of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. As of the 2010 census, the population was 33,151.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/40/40089.html )〕 Its county seat is Idabel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 It was formed at statehood from part of the earlier Choctaw Nation in Indian Territory.〔Coleman, Louis. ("McCurtain County," ) ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture'', Oklahoma Historical Society, 2009. Accessed April 4, 2015.〕 The name honors an influential Choctaw family that lived in the area. Green McCurtain was the last chief when the Choctaw Nation was dissolved before Oklahoma became a state in 1907.〔( "Origin of County Names in Oklahoma." In: ''Chronicles of Oklahoma''. Volume 2, Number 1. March, 1924. ) Retrieved February 14, 2014.〕 ==History== The area now included in McCurtain County was part of the Choctaw Nation before Oklahoma became a state. In the 1820s, it was a major part of Miller County, Arkansas. The area was sparsely populated, with no roads or bridges and no towns. There were post offices established at small trading posts along the various trails. Towns began to form when the Arkansas and Choctaw Railway (later the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway) was built across the area in 1902. Between 1910 and 1921 the Choctaw Lumber Company laid tracks for the Texas, Oklahoma and Eastern Railroad from Valliant, Oklahoma to DeQueen, Arkansas. These roads still served the area at the beginning of the 21st Century.〔 Initially, the county experienced difficulty functioning because of lack of funds. When the Choctaws accepted their land allotments, their homesteads were not taxable for twenty-one years. No roads were built until a decade after statehood. There were no bridges, so ferries carried people and vehicles across the major streams.〔
