Bald Hill, or Baldhill, [1] is a community in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma. [2] [3] It is located about 15 miles northeast of the City of Okmulgee, the county seat, off of Oklahoma State Highway 16. [4] A post office was established here in 1896, but was closed in 1908. [1] Nevertheless, the town was fueled by oil money, and had a population of 150 in 1923. [1]
Bald Hill was the location of a mansion on a high hill belonging to Enos Wilson. [1] [5] Wilson was recognized in 1935 by the Superintendent of the Five Civilized Tribes as then being the “world’s richest Indian.” [5] A paper referred to the mansion as “his famous peak castle.” [5]
Bald Hill is now considered a ghost town. [1]
