Hochatown

Ah! Hochatown! McCurtain county, right? Methamphetamine capitol of Oklahoma.

McCurtain County is right! Meth and tourism. We're in the tourism side.

Hochatown was named after a Choctaw family that settled in the area with the last name of Hocha. The town grew and thrived over the years right after Oklahoma statehood in 1907, and was also given the title of "Moonshine" capitol of Oklahoma.

I did not know that about the Hocha family, but I knew about the moonshine part. That "still" goes on here. I just know tourists can't pronounce the name and we let it go since they pay our bills.
