History
A post office was established at Fanshawe, Indian Territory on March 31, 1891. The town was named after John R. Fanshawe, an employee of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad, which built through the area in 1889–90; however, the town had no role in choosing the name. Railroad executives and investors made an inspection trip on the newly built line; at each designated station a name was drawn from a hat, and that name was used to designate the new town. At the time of its founding, Fanshawe was located in the Moshulatubbee District of the Choctaw Nation.
