History

The town of Lambert was named after Ambrose Lambert, who owned the original townsite. Lambert is contiguous to the similar small community of Yewed directly to its east. Part of the area known as the Cherokee Outlet, Lambert was originally part of Woods County after 1893 until the time of statehood in 1907, when the area became part of newly formed Alfalfa County.

The Choctaw Northern railway (later owned by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific ), which in 1901 became the county’s first railroad, connected Lambert to the other Alfalfa county towns of Aline, Augusta, Ingersoll, Driftwood, Amorita, and on into Kansas. Lambert had a U.S. Post Office beginning in November 21, 1901 and remaining open until April 30, 1952.

By 1909, Lambert had 127 inhabitants and four churches, a hotel, a bank, an elevator, and two grain buyers. In addition, a half-dozen stores served the local community. Its population peaked in 1920 at 130, and by 2010 it had only 6 remaining residents.
