Goldsby beat 27 county seats

The economy of California is estimated at $3.2 Trillion meaning if it were a sovereign nation it would rank fifth in the world ahead of India and the UK and just behind Germany.

On a much, much smaller scale but along the same lines, the economy in Goldsby is more robust than 27 of the state’s 77 county seat towns.

This past month, the Oklahoma Tax Commission’s sales tax report listed Goldsby with a monthly total of $165,998.

That was a higher total than the county seats of Custer, Beaver, Cimarron, Harper, Alfalfa, Roger Mills, Coal, Major, Tillman, Kiowa, Harmon, Delaware, Greer, Grant Washita, Kay, Nowata, Okfuskee, Osage, Pawnee, Beckham, Dewey, Johnston, Cotton, Jefferson, Seminole and Latimer Counties.

The community of 2,100 folks has several block buster businesses and tops Arapaho’s $5,473, Beaver’s $34,838, Boise City’s $40,104, Buffalo’s $18,180, Cherokee’s $56,581 and Coalgate’s $76,146.

Also, Fairview’s $131,984, Frederick’s $73,998, Hobart’s $121,143, Hollis’ $32,941, Jay’s $98,361 and Mangum’s $47,955.

And, Medford’s, $30,898, Cordell’s $98,228, Newkirk’s $36,828, Nowata’s $102,294 and Okemah’s $127,294.
