Oktoc is an unincorporated community in Oktibbeha County, Mississippi.
The community's name derived from the Choctaw language purported to mean "prairie", perhaps via nearby Oktoc Creek.[1] Oktoc is located on the former Robinson Road.[2]
Once known as "The Dairy Capital of the South," Oktoc is now home to several defunct dairy farms including Oak Ayr and Mactoc Farms, the largest two in the community. Oktoc has the oldest community club in the state and has not missed a meeting since its beginning in 1927.[3] [2]
Oktoc was served by East Oktibbeha High School, which was formed by the consolidation of B.L. Moor High School and Alexander High School until it was merged with Starkville High School in 2015.[4]
Today little remains but a community center and dilapidated country store.
A post office operated under the name Oktoc from 1878 to 1913.[5]
