Kingfisher County, County seat in central Oklahoma, United States.
Kingfisher County is an administrative division in central Oklahoma that covers flat to gently rolling land. The Cimarron River flows through the area, which displays a patchwork of farmland, pastures, and small towns.
The county was established in 1890 following a major land run in 1889 that allowed settlers to claim territory. This rapid settlement transformed the area from tribal land into an organized administrative region.
The Chisholm Trail Museum preserves artifacts and exhibits documenting the cattle-driving heritage that shaped the region's development.
Major routes like U.S. Highway 81 and several state highways connect towns throughout the county. Visitors exploring the region should know that some areas are sparsely populated and services may be spread out.
The county gained national attention in 2022 when authorities discovered an illegal marijuana farming operation within its boundaries.
