Fanshawe, Oklahoma
Fanshawe is a town in Latimer and Le Flore counties in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. As of the 2020 Census, the town had a total population of 317. The Le Flore County portion of Fanshawe is part of the Fort Smith, Arkansas-Oklahoma Metropolitan Statistical Area. History A post office was established at Fanshawe, Indian Territory on March 31, 1891. The town was named after John R. Fanshawe, an employee of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad, which built through the area in 1889–90; however, the town had no role in choosing the name. Railroad executives and investors made an inspection trip on the newly built line; at each designated station a name was drawn from a hat, and that name was used to designate the new town. At the time of its founding, Fanshawe was located in the Moshulatubbee District of the Choctaw Nation.Morris, John W.

Background Hawthorne had worked on a novel as early as his time as an undergraduate at Bowdoin College. ''Fanshawe'', his first published novel, may or may not have been that book. ''Fanshawe: A Tale'' appeared anonymously in October 1828 from the Boston publishers Marsh and Capen. Its printing was paid for at the author's own expense, costing him $100.
