Oto was a small community in Stone County, about halfway between Crane and Ponce De Leon and about five miles north of Galena.  Oto Ridge occupies the high ground between the James River and Crane Creek.  Oto had a post office from 1877 until 1913.

 

Oto Public School enrolled 47 students in 1905-1906.  The most common surnames were Anderson, Curbow, and Parsons.  A small photographic portrait of teacher Blanche O. Pritchard is on the cover of the booklet.  The students are listed by name, along with the members of the local school board: H. B. Cox (president), J. H. Pritchard (clerk), J. Le Duc, and H. G.
