The Town of Boley

Located halfway between Paden and Castle in Okfuskee County, Boley is the largest and most well-known of the more than fifty All-Black towns established in Oklahoma and remains one of only thirteen still in existence today. Founded in 1903, Boley was established on land allotted to Abigail Barnett, the daughter of Creek Freedman James Barnett, and named after J.B. Boley, a railroad official of the Fort Smith and Western Railway.
