History

Prior to statehood, Cornish was a community in Pickens County of the Chickasaw Nation. It was named for John E. Cornish, a local resident and cattle rancher. A post office opened in Cornish in 1901. M. E. “Mose” Harris founded the Cornish Orphans Home and began construction in 1907. The home would continue this work for the next forty years.

The Healdton Oilfield was discovered in August 1910, approximately 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Cornish. The town of Ringling was founded in June 1914, near the discovery and on the Oklahoma, New Mexico and Pacific Railway. Many Cornish businessmen and other residents moved to Ringling, and Cornish dwindled away.
