History

A post office was established at Caney Switch, Indian Territory for a short time in 1879. The post office took its name from nearby Caney Creek, and referred to the cane brakes along the course of the waterway. The post office was reestablished one mile south as Caney, Indian Territory on June 20, 1888, taking its name from the former post office at Caney Switch. The communities were both station stops on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad.

At the time of their founding, the communities were located in Atoka County, Choctaw Nation, a part of the Pushmataha District.
