History
A post office was established at Healdton, Indian Territory, on February 26, 1883. It was named for Charles H. Heald, a prominent resident. At the time of its founding, Healdton was located in Pickens County, Chickasaw Nation. With the August 1913 discovery of oil in the Healdton field near the town, Healdton got rail service from the Ringling and Oil Fields Railway, an affiliate of the Oklahoma, New Mexico and Pacific Railway, in the 1916-1917 timeframe. That line was later acquired by an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway affiliate, and was operated until abandoned in 1976.
