Davis is named after Samuel H. Davis, who moved to Washita in what was then Indian Territory in 1887. At the time of its founding, the community was located in Pickens County, Chickasaw Nation.Davis owned a dry goods store, which was four miles south of the current town of Davis. Davis submitted a petition for a Santa Fe depot to be built near his store, and the petition was accepted.


In 1890, he also successfully petitioned for a post office to be built. The post office was supposed to be named after Nelson Chigley, a Chickasaw Indian who owned the land on which the town was to be built. Chigley was already an Indian Territory name, so it was named after Davis. The town was established on November 16, 1898.


It is located 23 miles north of Ardmore and 23 miles south of Pauls Valley.By 1900, Davis had 57 businesses, two banks, 10 doctors, three dentists, and three lawyers.

The education, health, and social services sectors of the economy have grown, with approximately one-quarter of the population working in these areas.
