Beaver County
Beaver County lies in Oklahoma Panhandle, a part of
the Great
Plains proper.
It is one of only a
few
Oklahoma counties
in that physiographic
region. Kansas
borders Beaver County
on
the
north,
and Texas on the
south; Texas
County
abuts
it on the
west,
and Harper and
Ellis on the
east.
The concept
of
Beaver
County
did
not
come
about
until
the
formation
of
Cimarron
Territory
in
1886. That
organization
included
all
of No Man's
Land,
now
the
present
three
counties in
the
Panhandle.
However, there were
settlements in the
area
long
before that
time.
Our goal is to help
you
track your
ancestors
through time by
transcribing
genealogical and
historical data and
placing
it
online
for
the free use of all
researchers. This is a
continuation of our
original
Illinois
Trails History and
Genealogy Project and we
are excited
about this
opportunity to expand
into
other
states.
We welcome your
feedback and comments, and of course, your
data
contributions. If
you have
transcribed
data that
you
would like
to have
posted on
this
website, please
send
it to
us.

you
would like to

We are
looking
for a coordinator for this
site.
We're
looking
for
folks
who
share our
dedication to
putting
data
online and are
interested in
helping
this
project be as
helpful
and
useful to
researchers as
it
can be.

you

Founded in
1890
County Seat:
Beaver
The land where Beaver County is located has been under
several
jurisdictions.
At
one
time, it was
part of
Texas,
before
Texas
became a
state of
the
United States. There was
a period of time
that
it
was not
part of the
Oklahoma
Territory but
not a
separate
organized
territory. After
becoming part of
the
Oklahoma
Territory
in 1890,
Beaver
County
(first called Seventh County)
covered
the
entire
Oklahoma
Panhandle. At
statehood
in 1907,
Cimarron County
was taken
from the
western
one-third, while Texas
County
was
taken
from the middle,
leaving
Beaver
County only
i n
the east. Its
borders
are now at 100°W
(east),
37°N
(north), 36.5°N
(south),
and
approximately
100.8°W
(west).
