About Tatums
Tucked away in Carter County just northeast of Ratliff City, Tatums is a quiet, close-knit community with deep roots as one of Oklahoma's historic all-Black towns. Founded in the 1890s by Lee and Mary Tatum, the town grew from a humble home grocery and post office into a bustling rural hub complete with its own schools, churches, and local businesses during the 1920s oil boom. Today, with just over a hundred residents, it offers a peaceful countryside pace steeped in rich local heritage.
