Coalgate, City
Coalgate, Oklahoma, originated as a thriving coal mining community and played a significant role in the region's development. Incorporated in the late 19th century, the city was named after Coalgate Hoyt, president of the railroad, reflecting its connection to the coal industry and its growth from a mining camp to a bustling town.
By the early 20th century, Coalgate boasted a diverse economy and a flourishing population, thanks to its rich resources and entrepreneurial spirit. Although the coal mines eventually closed, agriculture and manufacturing have since taken the lead in driving the local economy, continuing the city's legacy of resilience and adaptation.
