Rossville, Oklahoma

Rossville is a small rural community in Lincoln County, Oklahoma, on US Highway 177.  The community had a post office from October 7, 1895, until February 15, 1907.  Per Oklahoma Place Names it was named for Ross Thomas, a local resident. 

The community consists of a store, a church, and several residential dwellings.  The Rossville School was one mile south of the community and the Rossville cemetery is one mile south and a half-mile west of the community.  Many of the buildings (including the store) were relocated back from the right-of-way when US 177 was constructed during the 1960s.
