Kiowa County, County in southwestern Oklahoma, United States.
The county spans 1,031 square miles of predominantly flat terrain, with the Washita Mountains forming the southern border and several water bodies including Lake Altus-Lugert.
The county was established in 1901 through a lottery system that distributed 13,000 land claims among 165,000 registered participants after the Native American reservation opened for settlement.
The Cooperton Mammoth Site and 58 archaeological locations reveal extensive Native American presence, from Paleo-Indian through Plains Village periods in this region.
The Board of County Commissioners manages local affairs from Hobart, implementing regulations such as burn bans and conducting regular public meetings for community matters.
At Cutthroat Gap near Cooperton, a significant 1833 conflict occurred when Osage warriors attacked a Kiowa camp, leading to the location's distinct name.
