 Present-day Hochatown is actually the second community in the area to bear the name.The original community was forced to relocate to its current location on U.S. Route 259 when Broken Bow Lake was created through the damming of Mountain Fork River by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in the late 1960s.Remnants of "Old Hochatown" can still be seen today while scuba diving at the bottom of Broken Bow Lake.
