Saddle Mountain is an unincorporated community in Kiowa County, Oklahoma, United States, along State Highway 115. The Saddle Mountain Post Office existed from January 2, 1902, until May 31, 1955. It was named for the Saddle Mountain Baptist Mission which opened in 1903.[1] Saddle Mountain, a foothill of the Wichita Mountains lies about a mile to the southeast in Comanche County.[2]
