My name is Jeff Smith and I am the Wagoner County Coordinator and Archivist.  Please check out the extensive research tools in the site menu.  Without volunteers this project would not be what it is today!  The Wagoner County site owes a debt of gratitude to the former Wagoner County Coordinators:  Terrill White, Rose Carter, Linda Simpson and Clarissa Loyd

This site contains FREE genealogy information to help researchers in their quest to find more information on their family lineage as well as history of Wagoner County, Oklahoma and U.S. History.  History and genealogy go hand in hand since many families moved around due to economic and personal reasons.  Not only can researchers surf these pages for FREE information, but you can contribute information and be part of the OKGenWeb Project and USGenWeb Project family.  There are many ways to volunteer with the OKGenWeb, IT/GenWeb and USGenWeb Project.
Volunteer opportunities include hosting a county site for the OKGenWeb Project or another state project in the USGenWeb Project.  For more information, please click here for OKGenWeb Project volunteer opportunties or USGenWeb Project for other state volunteer opportunties.If this site has been helpful to you, please vote for the Wagoner County, OKGenWeb Project or nominate your county of choice here.

The region known today as, Oklahoma, was home to Native American tribes when Coronado, the first European, who arrived in the area in 1541.  Oklahoma was part of the Louisiana Purchase and in 1803, Oklahoma was established as Indian Territory.  As Indian Territory it was given territorial government.  After the forced removal of Indians from the Eastern United States between 1828 to 1846, Oklahoma became home to the Five Civilized Tribes, which are:  Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole.
Comanche, Osage and other Plains Indians also called this land home.  Oklahoma was opened for homesteading by runs and lottery, the first run was on April 22, 1889.  The most famous run was to the Cherokee Outlet in 1893.
