Valliant Chamber
Valliant, Oklahoma Valliant was founded in 1902 as a result of the building of the railroad. A post office was officially opened here in 1902. The town of Valliant was named after Frank Valliant, an engineer with the railroad. This distinction came when the first Postmaster, Hosea Fowler, sold the first money order to Frank Valliant. The land that Valliant is on was originally designated as Indian land and was part of the Choctaw Nation. In 1904 the town was incorporated and the first mayor, Ransom Turley, was elected. A cotton gin was built in 1903 and flourished until the cotton market declined.
