Binger, a town in Caddo County Oklahoma, near an Indian reservation for Wichita and Caddo indians; "Binger is a modest cluster of frame houses and stores in the midst of a flat windy region full of clouds of red dust. There are about 500 inhabitants besides the Indians on a neighbouring reservation; the principal occupation seeming to be agriculture." Notable families in the 1800s-1920s include the Comptons, Heatons, Lawtons, Nortons, Wheelocks. A strange mound looms in the distance, within sight of the town, possibly of artificial origin attributed by locals to the Indians and by the Native Americans to "the Old Ones"; the mound area is the center for a number of local ghost stories and other sinister things, and thus the mound is shunned by locals, both white and native. Binger had a train station, Sheriff's office, general store, barber shop, doctor's office, saloon, and other common fixtures of small frontier towns.
