Welcome to Payne County, Oklahoma Genealogy
Trails
A Part of the

Volunteers Dedicated to Free
Genealogy
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.
Created on land that was once
part of the Creek Nation, Payne was one of the first
counties established in
Oklahoma
Territory by the Organic
Act in May
1890. It was first
designated as
the
Sixth
County, but
was later named to
honor Boomer leader David L. Payne. The
county was part of
the territory settled during the Land
Run of 1889.
Payne County's
topography of rolling
plains lies mostly within the
Sandstone
Hills
physiographic
region, and the
western part of the county lies within the
Red Bed Plains.
The Twin Mounds, limestone-topped hills
lying east of
Ingalls,
is the most
noticeable
feature. The
Cimarron River is the primary
waterway,
draining most of
the
county via its own smaller
tributaries and Stillwater Creek
and its
tributaries Adjacent counties
