Roberta is an unincorporated community located in Bryan County, Oklahoma, United States. It had a post office from March 23, 1894 until February 15, 1930. Roberta was named after its first postmaster, James Roberts (1847-1946). The letter "s" in "Roberts" smeared and looked like an "a" on the paper submitted to the assessor's office as the document was written in pencil. That's why the community was named Roberta Oklahoma instead of Roberts Oklahoma.
