History

The community was founded as Many Springs, which served as county seat of Jacksfork County, Choctaw Nation. A post office was established here as Etna, Indian Territory, on August 7, 1884. It was named for Etna Hewitt, a local resident.

The post office closed on August 9, 1897. On April 5, 1906 another post office opened at this location and was known as Daisy, Indian Territory. It was named for Daisy Beck, a local girl.[1]
