Description
DOMINO HALL OF TEXOLA OKLAHOMA by PRISCILLA BURGERS
It is difficult to imagine this building, barely large enough for one table, to be called a "hall". Texola residents from days gone by can recall spending hours here playing dominoes. The history of Texola dates back to the early 1900s. Due to being close to the Oklahoma-Texas border, the town had been called Texokla and Texoma. Because of its location near the 100th Meridian, the town was surveyed eight different times, which meant that some early residents lived in both Texas and Oklahoma without ever moving. The population of Texola peaked at 581 in the 1930's, partly due to Route 66, also known as 5th Street. Texola, now bypassed by I-40 but accessible by Exit 1, now has a population of around 36.
