History

The Bailey post office was established on June 25, 1892. It was named after J. J. Bailey, a wagon master on a stage line to Fort Sill.
In 1902, a town plat was created. Bailey was soon home to a cotton gin, Methodist church, school, a general store, a blacksmith shop, a drug store, and two doctors.
The post office closed on September 30, 1932.
By 1949, it was remarked that "there is nothing at this place to remind one of a former town."
