McClain County, County seat in central Oklahoma, United States
McClain County spans 580 square miles of varied terrain, from hilly regions with black jack oak trees in the west to level lowlands in the east.
The county formed in 1907 during Oklahoma statehood and received its name from Charles M. McClain, an attendee of the Oklahoma Constitutional Convention.
The region transformed from Chickasaw Nation territory to an agricultural center, with every town operating cotton gins during the early twentieth century.
Interstate 35 connects McClain County to Oklahoma City, making it convenient for the 41 percent of residents who commute north for employment opportunities.
The county seat of Purcell marked the boundary between Indian Territory, which prohibited alcohol sales, and Oklahoma Territory, which permitted them.
