Bunch is a small community in Adair County, Oklahoma, in the United States. It's called an "unincorporated community" because it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. It's also a "Census designated place," which means the U.S. government counts its population for official records.
This community got its name from a Cherokee leader named Rabbit Bunch, who lived there in the 1880s. Bunch is located in the Sallisaw Creek valley. The Kansas City Southern Railroad, built in the 1890s, runs right through the middle of Bunch.
Bunch is part of the Cookson Hills area in eastern Oklahoma. These hills are also a western part of the Ozark Mountains. West of the community, you'll find the Cookson Hills Wildlife Management Area, a place for nature and animals. About two and a half miles north of Bunch is Cave Springs Public Schools, which is a school for all grades, from kindergarten to 12th grade. It serves students from Bunch and the nearby areas.
