Pickett, OK

Pickett is a quiet rural community in Pontotoc County, sitting along Highway 19 about five miles west of Ada and ten miles east of Stratford. It originally went by Center Switch before taking the name Pickett from an old general store known for its tidy picket fence. In its early days, daily life revolved around the local two-room schoolhouse, which doubled as the neighborhood gathering place for community events.

Today, students in the area attend Vanoss Public Schools, just a short drive down the road. Living in Pickett gives you plenty of open pasture and peaceful creek country, while Highway 19 makes it easy to head into Ada for work, shopping, dining, and healthcare. It is a great fit for anyone looking for relaxed country living with everyday conveniences just a few minutes away.
