Enville is a community located in eastern Love County, Oklahoma, United States. A post office was established at Enville, Indian Territory on June 16, 1904, and closed January 15, 1935. The name is said to have been coined from a contraction of the phrase, "end of the road ville."[2]
Enville is the birthplace of noted Western actor, singer and composer, and Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Johnny Bond.
