J.B. Boley

J.B. Foley, a White man, was roadmaster for the Fort Smith and Western Railroad, which passed a few feet south of this point. He had faith in the Black man to govern himself and persuaded the railroad to establish a townsite here; thus the town of Boley in Creek Nation, Indian Territory, was named for him. Boley was established in 1903 and incorporated May 11, 1905.
