Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Etowah, OK

Etowah is a small town in Cleveland County, Oklahoma, located on Etowah Road about eleven miles east of Noble.

According to historian George Shirk, Etowah's name was derived from a Cherokee settlement in Georgia.

The Etowah area lay in the Unassigned Lands and opened to general settlement with the Land Run of 1889; the rural community soon grew up along the road connecting Purcell to Tecumseh.

The U.S. Post Office Department designated an Etowah post office in 1894.

By 1911 Etowah had an estimated 75 residents and supported two general stores, a blacksmith, and a cotton oil mill.

In the 1930s Etowah started a homecoming and town reunion tradition that continued into the twenty-first century.

Etowah has one of Oklahoma's strangest incorporation stories: residents petitioned to incorporate in 1967 and commissioners approved it, but the ordered election never took place — the town simply ran a municipal government anyway, and in 1983 a district judge ruled Etowah was legally incorporated because it had operated as a town for nearly twenty years unchallenged.

Etowah was down to just 28 residents in the 1980 census, but it rebounded to 122 in 2000 before dipping to 92 in 2010.

The 2020 census counted 160 residents in Etowah, and most of its workers commute to larger cities such as Norman, the Cleveland County seat; the town covers about two square miles.
