About May
May is a town in Harper County, Oklahoma, United States. As of the 2020 census, the town’s population was 29.
A store was created at the site of the town in 1893 after the Cherokee Outlet Opening; a post office was opened in July of 1896; and, the town was platted in July of 1902, although it was not formally incorporated until November of 1913. The town received a significant boost in the Spring of 1912 when the Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railway was built through, making May a wheat-shipping point. But the town significantly declined after World War II and the rail line was abandoned in 1972. As of late 2026, the post office was still open.
