==History==
The original town of Woodville was established as Harney, with its post office opening November 8, 1881.<ref name=OHS>{{cite web|url= https://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=WO015 |title=Woodville|publisher=Oklahoma Historical Society|accessdate=July 14, 2024}}</ref>  It was renamed Woodville on July 9, 1888 in honor of local settler L.L. Wood.<ref name=OHS/>  Construction of a [[St. Louis and San Francisco Railway]] affiliate through the area in 1900 stimulated growth, with the town having 3 newspapers, a grain elevator, and cotton gins, resulting in a community with a school and nine brick buildings.<ref name=OHS/>  It was incorporated as a town between 1900 and 1907.<ref name=OHS/>
That original Woodville, having approximately 300 residents, was dissolved around 1943 or 1944 when the area was flooded due to the [[Red River of the South|Red River]] being dammed by [[Denison Dam]] to create Lake Texoma.<ref name=News>{{cite news
