Nowata County, Administrative county in northeastern Oklahoma, United States
The county encompasses 577 square miles of land characterized by rolling hills, grasslands, and the Verdigris River flowing through its territory.
Established in 1907 during Oklahoma statehood, the county derived its name from the Delaware Indian word meaning welcome, reflecting its Native American heritage.
Pioneer Day celebrations in May feature a community parade, local vendors, street food, and music, representing the county's agricultural and industrial traditions.
