Lane is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Atoka County, Oklahoma, United States.
A post office was established at Lane, Indian Territory on October 6, 1902. Its name reflects the fact the new post office was located in a building which was at the end of lane bounded by rail fencing. At the time of its founding, Lane was located in Atoka County, Choctaw Nation, a territorial-era government unit.[3]
As of the 2010 census[needs update], the CDP had a population of 414.[4]
Lane is located along the State Highway 3, 10 miles (16 km) southeast of Atoka.[5]
McGee Creek Reservoir, which impounds the waters of McGee Creek, lies northeast of Lane. McGee Creek is a tributary of Muddy Boggy Creek, which flows east of Lane.
The famous rodeo world champion Lane Frost (1963-1989) once lived in Lane, as do his parents.[citation needed] Frost graduated from high school in Atoka.
