Acme is a ghost town in Grady County, Oklahoma, United States.[1] It had a post office from April 8, 1913 to May 29, 1931.[2]
History
The town of Acme developed when the Acme Cement and Plaster Company built a mill and power plant in the area in 1911.[2] Gypsum was mined from the area. It was located on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad.[2] After 1930 the venture became unprofitable and everything closed down. The railroad was abandoned in 1930.[2] Today very little is left of the former town.
Geography
Elevation is 1,286 feet.[1]
