Dewey County, County division in western Oklahoma, United States
Dewey County is an administrative division in western Oklahoma covering land shaped by rolling hills and flat prairie terrain. The county includes several small towns and features both the Gypsum Hills and High Plains landscapes.
This territory was originally inhabited by the Choctaw and Chickasaw peoples before opening for non-Native settlement in 1892. The administrative structure was subsequently established within Oklahoma Territory.
The county maintains local governance through multiple towns including Taloga and operates the Dewey County Ambulance Service Association for its residential community.
The main transportation routes include U.S. Highway 60, 183, and 270, which connect different parts of the county. These roads make it easy to navigate through the area.
The courthouse in Taloga was built in 1926 and replaced an original wooden structure from 1909. It remains the administrative hub and shows how the area developed over time.
