==History==
Early day McLoud was known for manufacturing and selling Whiskey to whites and American Indians in dry Indian Territory. Located on the North Canadian River, the original town was destroyed in a flood and was rebuilt on higher ground one mile south.〔
In June 1895, a post office named McCloud was established for the town, named after railroad attorney John William McLoud. The spelling of the post office name was corrected in October 1895.〔 The town incorporated July 7, 1896.〔Molder, Klaris.( "McLoud, 1895 to 1949." ''Chronicles of Oklahoma''. ) Retrieved December 6, 2013.〕 The town was an agricultural center for much of its history. By the start of the 21st Century, it had become a bedroom community, with many of its residents commuting to work in other towns.〔
In 1949, the city was recognized as the "Blackberry Capital of the World" when the Chamber of Commerce sent a crate of blackberries to President Harry S. Truman.〔
