A post office was established in Washita on April 16, 1910, taking its name from the nearby Washita River. From 1923 to 1955, area students were educated in a two-story red brick building. A gray stone gymnasium, built by the Works Progress Administration in 1939, was home to the Washita Eagles. The gymnasium was torn down in 1996.
