Brooksville, located in Pottawatomie County four miles southwest of Tecumseh in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma (Oklahoma Territory), was established in 1903. Originally the town was named Sewell, after a white doctor who owned much of the surrounding land and who attended the residents. In 1912, the name changed to Brooksville in honor of the first African American in the area, A. R. Brooks, a cotton buyer and farmer. His son, W. M. Brooks, became the first postmaster. The post office was established in 1909 and lasted until 1955. In 1906, Rev. Jedson White organized St. John’s Baptist Church. Soon afterward, the congregation built a church that still exists. White also promoted the town throughout the South, urging African Americans to settle there. The Santa Fe Railroad moved through Brooksville which gave the town access to Tecumseh and Shawnee. As the town grew, there were three hotels, two doctors, and two mills.
