Alsuma had a post office from February 14, 1905-June 15, 1926. Alsuma was also known as Welcome and Troxillion. Named for a John Alsuma,who was a local merchant. The town was a community that was half black and half white. Alsuma was absorbed into the city of Tulsa in 1968. Submitted by: Doug Greene Alsuma, Oklahoma. I was born in Alsuma in July 1935 and left in 1953 to join the Marines (Retired in 73) My oldest brother was the last family (or one of the last) to leave Alsuma. I remember when the railroad renamed Alsuma to Trovillion, someone kept tearing down the sign until the railroad put the Alsuma sign back. Lots of childhood memories there. James (Jim) Ree
