Gaar Corner, Oklahoma

Gaar Corner, Oklahoma

Gaar Corner is an unincorporated place in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. Gaar Corner is located in western Pontotoc County on State Highway 19, east of Stratford. While Gaar Corner is not shown on the official state map, it is marked by official ODOT place-name signs along SH-19.

Much folklore states that the origin of Gaar Corner's name came from an old Indian family who took on the last name of their masters which was Gaar. After the white families died off, the Native Americans kept the Gaar Family name and settled here for good.
