Nestled in the foothills of the Kiamichi Mountains, the lush forests were a welcome home for the Choctaw Indians, who ended up in the area after being driven from their home in the east. They called the area Con-Chito. However, the forests were also attractive to lumber companies, like the conveniently named "Choctaw Lumber Company," ran by Herman and Fred Dierks from Broken Bow, Nebraska. They acquired rights to 230 acres and in 1911 set up a town for the employees of what became the largest timber processing mill in the United States.

abstract	Nestled in the foothills of the Kiamichi Mountains, the lush forests were a welcome home for the Choctaw Indians, who ended up in the area after being driven from their home in the east. They called the area Con-Chito. However, the forests were also attractive to lumber companies, like the conveniently named "Choctaw Lumber Company," ran by Herman and Fred Dierks from Broken Bow, Nebraska. They acquired rights to 230 acres and in 1911 set up a town for the employees of what became the largest timber processing mill in the United States. The Dierks family, though, provided well for the town, and over the course of fifty years the town grew around their business. Other lasting family owned businesses grew as well, leading to a bustling community. In 1969 the Weyerheuser Company bought and improved the timber processing plant and in 1970 the Lane's Holly Creek Fryers Processing Plant was built, becoming a major competitor of Arkansas' Tyson foods. In the 1960's the US Army Corps of Engineers bult a dam on Mountain Fork River, leading to the development of Broken Bow Lake. This added to the allure of the area, especially for recreation. The Choctaw Nation continued to be an influence in the county even after losing sovereignty when Oklahoma became a state. With a history deeply rooted in the history of the Choctaw Nation, this minority became well respected in the diverse culture of the Broken Bow Area.
