Milo is a community located in Carter County, Oklahoma, United States.[1] It is on State Highway 53, south of the Arbuckles. The post office opened October 28, 1899.[2] It was later closed. The current ZIP Code is 73458 assigned to Springer. Milo is said to have been a portmanteau of the initials of the four daughters of resident J.W. Johnston. However his (5) daughters were named May Belle, Willie Mallissa, Lola Maude, Ezella Marigold, & Elba aka "Cutchie"[2] Milo was once home to not only several schools, but two grocery stores, a cotton gin, and several other businesses. Milo has been a Farming & Ranching community for many years, with a very rich history, but like many small towns over the years its population has declined. Milo still prides itself on being a small rural community and is also the town where Norman Cattle Co. and the Speake Ranch are located.
