Oklahoma Counties
There are seventy-seven counties in Oklahoma. Oklahoma is ranked 20th size and 17th in the
number of counties, between Mississippi with 82 counties and Arkansas with 75 counties.
Oklahoma originally had seven counties when it was first organized as the Oklahoma Territory. These counties
were designated numerically, first through seventh. New counties added after this were designated by letters of
the alphabet. The first seven counties were later renamed. The Oklahoma Constitutional Convention named all of
the counties that were formed when Oklahoma entered statehood in 1907. Only two counties have been formed since
then

The history of our nation can be seen as a prolonged struggle to define the relative roles and powers of our governments: federal, state, and local. And the names we've given our counties, our most locally based jurisdictions, reflects the "characteristic
features of our country!"
But age, size and colorful names of our counties isn't the only reason to explore counties' role in American history, or the history of county government itself. In fact, the story of county government reflects the larger meanings of American history.
Today's counties are the most flexible, locally responsive and creative governments in the US. They are the most diverse, varying in size, population, geography, and governmental structure. In their politics and policies, they express a 1990's political slogan "Think globally,
act locally." |
