Daisy is a small unincorporated community in Atoka County, Oklahoma, United States, along State Highway 43. Located in the northeastern part of the county, Daisy was once a thriving community with a general store, school, and other institution, much like Redden to the south. Currently, very little of the town remains. The old store has closed down and the school as well. Recently a local businessman (Rick Isom) opened a new store and is doing quite well. On friday nights they serve a great catfish plate, not to mention you will meet many local residents. If you stay long in the store you will find many local historians and government officials, including mayors of various locations nearby. Apart from a small number of homes and families (mostly of the Kellogg family), all that remains of the town is a small post office. The post office was opened April 5, 1906. It is said to have been named for Daisy Beck, a local girl.
