Rattan is a great little town in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma. The current population is about  250 and increases considerably during the summer months and deer season. It is located 12 miles east of Antlers, The Deer Capital of the World, and 43 miles west of Broken Bow on Highway 3.

Rattan, Oklahoma was named after the town Rattan in Texas; however, Oklahoma pronounces it Rat-tan and Texas pronounces it Rat'un. Rattan, Oklahoma is located at the intersection of Hwy 3 and Hwy 93 about 33 miles north of the Texas-Oklahoma border. Rattan, Texas is at the intersection of Farm Roads 1530 and 3388, between Doctors and Giles creeks three miles southeast of Pecan Gap in western Delta County.

Moses Allen Fleming was the first postmaster for Rattan, Oklahoma. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Texas, and then on to Oklahoma in 1902 before it became a state. Most of the Fleming families in the area are his descendants.

Later, The Campbells ran the post office and general store in the 1940s. Earl Campbell is pictured in the center.
