Hoyt is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Haskell County, Oklahoma, United States.[1] The community is 3.9 miles (6.3 km) west-northwest of Whitefield. A post office was established at Hoyt, Indian Territory on August 19, 1890. It was named for Babe Hoyt, a local ferryboat operator.[2] The post office closed on April 17, 2004; it still has its own ZIP code, 74440.[3][4]

It is home to the Hoyt School, which is no longer in use, but has been nominated for classification as an official Oklahoma landmark.[5]

At the time of its founding, Hoyt was located in the Moshulatubbee District of the Choctaw Nation.[6]
