Dewey County is located in west-central Oklahoma covering 977 square
miles, comprising the same area as Dewey County, Oklahoma Territory. Part
of the Cheyenne-Arapaho lands opened April 19, 1892 as "D" county. Named
for Admiral George Dewey.
Taloga is the county seat. The first post office was established March 22,
1892. Although there are several versions of the origin of the Taloga
name, it is probably from the Creek word meaning "rock in water" and has
reference to the original boundary of the Creek nation. The South Canadian River winds through. The river sands made difficult
crossings for early pioneers. Early settlements were Butte, Camargo,
Lenora, Raymond, Rhea, Riley and Taloga. Present towns are Camargo,
Leedey, Oakwood, Putnam, Seiling, Taloga, Vici.
