A Look at Fillmore's Past
Fillmore has a bit of history tied to its name and its services. From 1902 to 1965, the community had its own post office. A post office is where people send and receive mail. Having one meant that Fillmore was an active place where people lived and communicated.
The community got its name from a local person named Elias Fillmore. He was a member of the Chickasaw Nation. The Chickasaw are one of the many Native American tribes. They have a rich history in the southeastern United States, including parts of Oklahoma.
