Poteau had its origin in 1885, with a few houses and Bud Tate's general store. Poteau, a French word for "post," is located on the banks of the river bearing its name. Incorporation of Poteau occurred in 1898. That same year the first public building was constructed.
The federal court was moved to Poteau from Cameron in 1900. By 1903 the Kansas City Southern and Frisco railroads were both running through town. In 1908 Governor C.N. Haskell issued a proclamation declaring Poteau to be "a city of the first class."
