Broxton is a small community in Caddo County, Oklahoma, United States. It is an unincorporated community, which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town.
Long ago, people planned for Broxton to become a bigger town. They even set aside land for 50 building plots.

Broxton might be a small place, but it has become famous in the world of comics and TV shows!
Broxton in Marvel Comics
Since the late 2000s, Broxton and the areas around it have been an important setting in Marvel Comics' series about Thor. Thor is a powerful Norse god.
In these comics, Thor's home, a magical place called Asgard, became a floating landmass right outside Broxton. The people of Broxton were very welcoming to the Asgardians.
However, in a comic series from 2011 called Fear Itself, Thor's father, Odin, decided to move his people back to Asgard's original location. He felt uneasy about receiving help from humans and sensed a powerful old enemy returning.

In the series, this version of Broxton is in an alternate timeline. It becomes a temporary home for a character named Sylvie.
