Sasakwa is a town in Seminole County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 80 as of the 2020 census. Sasakwa was originally located at a site 12 miles west of the present townsite, where Governor John E Brown, Seminole, established a trading post, cotton gin, and 16 room mansion where he fed vagrants and poor. A post office was established in 1880, and took the name from that given his trading post by Gov John E Brown, from the Seminole word meaning "wild goose". Sasakwa Female Academy existed at Sasakwa from 1880 to 1892. At that time Sasakwa was part of the Nation in the Indian Territory. The site of the present town was moved to where the train station was located.
