==History==
In 1872, the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway (Katy) built a track five miles south of Atoka in Indian Territory and created a settlement which it called Peck Switch. The first post office was established in 1903. The name was changed to Lewis in 1905, honoring the first postmaster, Charles Lewis. In 1909, the community was renamed Dayton, but was changed during the same year to the present Tushka. ''Tushka'' is a Choctaw word meaning "warrior".〔Hall, Dean and Dovie Walker. ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture''. "Tushka." Retrieved January 3, 2013. ()〕
Tushka was first incorporated in 1915, but disincorporated after 15 years. There were 248 residents at the 1920 census. A fire destroyed most of the town during the Great Depression. During World War II, many of the remaining residents moved to California for work and never returned. The town incorporated again in 1968. Its population had recovered to 230 in 1970.〔
Tushka was hit by a tornado on April 14, 2011, causing damage to much of the town, including the school, and causing two deaths.
