About Bessie

Around Bessie.

A little history

Bessie took its name from the Bess Line, the nickname for the Blackwell, Enid and Southwestern Railroad that laid tracks through Washita County in 1902. Within a couple of years the little railroad town could claim a roundhouse, three hotels, and four passenger trains a day.

On the map since

1903. A post office opened here in 1903. The name is either a railroad official's wife or the Blackwell, Enid and Southwestern line, and folks still argue about which.

Bessie

Bessie got a post office in 1903 and the name came from either a railroad official’s wife or the Blackwell, Enid and Southwestern line, depending on who you ask. Nobody has settled it and probably nobody will.

What is settled is the internet situation. A town this size in Washita County was never going to get wired service run out to it, and waiting on that to change is not a plan. Licensed fixed wireless works by radio from a tower to a small antenna on your roof, so the number of houses on your road is not what decides whether you can get connected.

Ask about upload when you call. It is what carries video calls, cameras, and anything you send, and it is the number rural connections have always been worst at.

Local techs do the install.
