Page is a small place in Le Flore County, Oklahoma, in the United States. It's called an unincorporated community. This means it's a settlement that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town. Instead, it's managed by the county.
Page is easy to find because it's located right along two main roads: U.S. Route 59 and U.S. Route 270. It's about 5.5 miles (8.9 km) west of the border with Arkansas.

How Page Got Its Name
The community of Page got its name from a very important person. It was named after William C. Page. He was a well-known member of the Choctaw Nation.
When Page Was Established
A post office was opened in Page on April 6, 1896. This was a big step for the community. It meant people could send and receive mail more easily.
Page in Indian Territory
When Page was first established, it wasn't in the state of Oklahoma yet. It was located in a place called Indian Territory. This was a large area set aside by the U.S. government for Native American tribes.
At that time, Page was specifically in Wade County. This county was part of the Apukshunnubbee District within the Choctaw Nation. The Choctaw Nation was a self-governing Native American territory.
