New Woodville is a town in Marshall County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 60 as of the 2020 Census.[4] Listed erroneously by the Census Bureau as "Woodville" from 1980 to 2000, the town's name was corrected in Census Bureau listings in 2005.[5] Proposals to annex the unincorporated areas of New Woodville and McBride on the shores of Lake Texoma were considered in the past.
The original town of Woodville was established as Harney, with its post office opening November 8, 1881.[6] It was renamed Woodville on July 9, 1888 in honor of local settler L.L. Wood.[6] Construction of a St. Louis and San Francisco Railway affiliate through the area in 1900 stimulated growth, with the town having 3 newspapers, a grain elevator, and cotton gins, resulting in a community with a school and nine brick buildings.[6] It was incorporated as a town between 1900 and 1907.[6] That original Woodville, having approximately 300 residents, was dissolved around 1943 or 1944 when the area was flooded due to the Red River being dammed by Denison Dam to create Lake Texoma.[7] [8] The town of New Woodville was incorporated, with around 50 of the former Woodville residents moving to the new location about two miles north of the original townsite.[7] [8] New Woodville disincorporated for brief periods in the late 90s or the early 2000s, but has legally existed since 2002 although the town government has been inactive.[6]
The drought of 2013 reduced the level of Lake Texoma sufficiently to expose some of old Woodville's foundations and storm cellars.[9]
