Pawnee County, Administrative county in northern Oklahoma, United States.
Pawnee County is an administrative division in northern Oklahoma featuring the Arkansas and Cimarron rivers along with Black Bear Creek tributaries. The landscape includes rolling terrain shaped by these waterways.
The county was established in 1894 following the Cherokee Outlet land opening. This creation followed the relocation of the Pawnee tribe from further west and marked a turning point in how the region developed.
The county name honors the Pawnee tribe who relocated here from Nebraska. This naming reflects the presence of Native American history that shaped the region.
The county borders reach to Osage County to the north, Tulsa County to the east, Creek and Payne Counties to the south, and Noble County to the west. These boundaries help orient visitors navigating through the region.
The region experienced a strong earthquake measuring 5.8 in magnitude near the city of Pawnee in 2016. This event was among the strongest ever recorded in Oklahoma.
