Pusley's Station was a stage stand on the old Butterfield Overland Mail route in Indian Territory. It was located in what is now Latimer County, Oklahoma, on the south side of Gains Creek. The station was named for Silas Pusley, a trader and member of a prominent Choctaw family. In 1859, the Choctaw Council granted Pusley the right to build a bridge and tollbooth across Gains Creek near his station. Pusley's Station was added to the National Register of Historic Places (#72001068) in 1972. ==Sources== *Shirk, George H. ''Oklahoma Place Names''.
