Ellis County, County in western Oklahoma, United States
Ellis County encompasses 1,232 square miles of land with Wolf Creek running through its territory as a tributary of the North Canadian River.
The county, established in 1907 and named after Constitutional Convention vice president Albert H. Ellis, originated from sections of Day and Woodward counties.
German immigrants from Russia established substantial settlements near Shattuck in the early 1900s, introducing their agricultural practices to the region.
The county maintains connections through U.S. Highway 60, U.S. Highway 283, and State Highways 15, 46, and 51 across its territory.
In 1838, Wolf Creek witnessed a major intertribal conflict when Cheyenne and Arapaho forces engaged camps of Kiowa, Comanche, and Plains Apache people.
