About Taft

Sitting about eight miles west of Muskogee, Taft is a quiet small town with deep historical roots. It was founded on Creek Freedman land as one of Oklahoma's historic all-Black towns, and the community has carried a proud civic spirit ever since. In fact, Taft made national headlines in 1973 by electing Lelia Foley-Davis, the first Black woman mayor in the United States. For anyone looking into the area, it offers a peaceful rural setting with easy access to bigger-city amenities nearby.
