== Fun facts ==
* The economy of Atoka County has been largely built on coal mining, limestone quarrying, forestry and agriculture. Cattle raising became the leading business in the mid-twentieth century. A major employer is the Oklahoma State Penitentiary Farm (renamed the Mack H. Alford Correctional Center), a medium security prison that opened in 1933.
* The Katian Age of the Ordovician Period of geological time is named for Katy Lake which is 2 miles north east of Atoka. The Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) of the Katian stage is the Black Knob Ridge Section in the county.
* About 12 miles WSW of the town of Atoka is Boggy Depot State Park, the historic site of a once large community on the Butterfield Overland Mail stagecoach route.
* The Oklahoma Department of Corrections operates the Mack Alford Correctional Center in an unincorporated area near Stringtown.
* The Cimarron Cellars Winery is located near Caney.
* A state investigation revealed that 76 percent of the Stringtown's 2013 budget came from traffic tickets. The investigation found excessive speed trapping, and the police department was disbanded in 2014.
* Stringtown was once home to a sawmill and a cotton gin that had the biggest production rate in the late 1800s. When the fire came through the town on July 15, 1954, the sawmill and cotton gin burned down, along with half the town. Stringtown had a café, a jailhouse, a barbershop, a bank, and a hotel that also burned down that day. All that was left was Robert’s Store and a few homes. The town never really rebuilt after this. Today, there is a school, a church, a fire department, City Hall, Dianna’s store, and a senior citizens building.
