Editing Tuttle, Oklahoma (section)

==History==
Located east of the [[Chisholm Trail]], Tuttle was developed as a farming and ranching community.  The town was platted in 1901 and the land was purchased [[Chickasaw]] land from the Colbert Family.  The town is named after local rancher James H. Tuttle, a [[Choctaw]] by marriage and the father of automobile dealer and politico [[Holmes Tuttle]].

At the time of its founding, Tuttle was located in [[Pickens County, Chickasaw Nation]].<ref>Charles Goins, ''Historical Atlas of Oklahoma'' (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2006), plate 105.</ref>

The right-of-way for the [[St. Louis and San Francisco Railway]] came from the tribal allotment of Frances Schrock, a Choctaw.  Schrock Park is named after her.<ref name=tuttle_history>{{cite web|last=Jackson|first=Gwen|title=Tuttle - Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History & Culture|url=http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/T/TU026.html|publisher=Oklahoma Historical Society|access-date=11 April 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110705160948/http://digital.library.okstate.edu/encyclopedia/entries/T/TU026.html|archive-date=5 July 2011|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref>  Tuttle's post office was established in 1902, and the town was incorporated in 1906.<ref name="tuttle_history"/>
