Amorita, Oklahoma
[6] City lots were sold when the railroad completed its rail line through the county in November 1901.[5] The town was temporarily given a competitive advantage as a transportation hub because nearby Byron did not acquire its own competing railroad access (the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway) until October 1902.In 1921, voters of both Byron and Amorita jointly approved the construction of power lines extending from Kansas to supply electricity to both their towns.[5] Amorita lies along State Highway 58,[8] between Byron to the south and the Kansas border to the north.There were 15.4% of families and 7.8% of the population living below the poverty line, including no one under the age of eighteen and none of those over 64.
