Eakly is a town in Caddo County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 338 at the 2010 census.

A publicize office was traditional in the community of Eakly in March 1902, while this area was yet part of Oklahoma Territory. Apparently, a plat was not filed for the town until the 1920s, which expected that town lots could not be sold during the first two decades of Eakly’s formal existence. Two organizations were exempted from this limit: the Methodist church bought a building site in 1914, and the Bank of Eakly bought a site in 1920. All others who wished to construct in the town had to lease the land.

Eakly’s first census was in 1940, showing 231 residents. The population dropped somewhat during World War II, and registered 191 in 1950, probably because people moved to military give support to and stroke production operate in larger towns and cities. There was an upswing in 1960 and 1970, which peaked at 452 by 1980. The append dropped to 277 in 1990, and has never once again approached the 1980 high.

The nonexistence of a registered town plat and the lack of a railroad did not prevent Eakly from prospering as an agricultural center. Cotton gardening was the main objection in into the future decades. After World War II, irrigation began to progress into this allocation of Oklahoma, enabling more diverse crops. Peanut cultivation became the leading agricultural excitement in the 1960s. The community incorporated as a town in 1957. A house manufacturing forest was built in 1970, but soon went out of business.
