Welcome to Wagoner County. My name is Jeff Smith the County Coordinator and Archivist. I do not live in Oklahoma, therefore I am unable to do local research.  Please check out the Look up Volunteers or 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 Lloyd

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 OK Gen Web Project and US Gen Web Project family.  There are many ways to volunteer with the OK Gen Web, IT/Gen Web and US Gen Web Project.
 Volunteer opportunities include hosting a county site for the OK Gen Web Project or another state project in the US Gen Web Project.  For more information, please click here for OK Gen Web Project volunteer opportunities or US Gen Web Project for other state volunteer opportunities. If this site has been helpful to you, please vote for the Wagoner County, OK Gen Web 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.
