Chilocco Indian Agricultural School
Chilocco Indian Agricultural School, Federal boarding school in Kay County, Oklahoma, United States.
The campus includes over 100 buildings constructed from yellow limestone, spreading across 8,640 acres of former Cherokee Nation territory.
Established in 1884, the Chilocco Indian Agricultural School operated until 1980 as one of five non-reservation boarding schools authorized by Congress.
Students from 127 different Native American tribes learned agricultural techniques, trades, and academic subjects while adapting to mainstream American society.
The National Register of Historic Places designation protects the remaining structures, which now serve various purposes including law enforcement training.
The institution maintains extensive records of over 17,000 former students through yearbooks, rosters, and census data available for genealogical research.
