Oilton is a small town in Creek County, Oklahoma, where PO Boxes aren't just convenient. They're required. This is a PO Box Only Zone, meaning the post office maintains 381 boxes for the town's 431 households. With an 88% adoption rate, nearly every household uses a PO Box because street delivery isn't available.
The town's classic grid of numbered streets (1st through 6th) and letter avenues (A through M) suggests early 20th-century planning, consistent with Oklahoma's oil boom era. The name "Oilton" hints at that petroleum heritage. Today, S Highway 99 handles most delivery points (12 addresses), while Main Street splits east and west through the center.
Oilton's 1,021 residents live in an aging housing stock. Of 529 total housing units, 510 were built before 1939. That's 96% of homes dating to the pre-World War II era. Median home values of $75,200 and a median household income of $31,346 indicate a working-class community. About 68% of occupied homes are owner-occupied (295 of 431).
Rural carrier routes handle all street delivery here (two distinct routes serving 154 delivery points). The post office operates as a traditional facility (zipFacilityCode "P") without city carrier service. At 5.2 square miles, the ZIP covers a compact area centered at coordinates 36.09°N, 96.56°W. Creek County is home, with Tulsa metro area subdivisions starting about 16-17 miles to the southeast.
