Skullyville, Oklahoma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Skullyville is a small rural community in Le Flore County, Oklahoma. Skullyville was the former capitol of the Choctaw Nation and a stop on the California Road. Walker's Station, a stage stand on the Butterfield Overland Mail route, was located in Skullyville. The name is derived from the Choctaw word for money, "iskulli" or "iskuli", as originally this was the place where annuity payments were collected.
