Sequoyah County Summary
Situated in the eastern part of Oklahoma, Sequoyah County is a county with a rich history, diverse geography, and a vibrant economy. With a population of 41,079 as of the 2010 census, Sequoyah County is the second most populous county in the state.
History
Sequoyah County was created in 1907 from the former Goingsnake and Illinois Districts of the Cherokee Nation. The county was named after Sequoyah, a Cherokee silversmith who developed the Cherokee syllabary, a writing system for the Cherokee language.
The county was originally home to the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Creek tribes, who were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands in the 1830s as part of the Indian Removal Act. After the removal, the area was opened up to white settlers, who began to move in and establish farms and businesses.
In the early 20th century, the county was a major center of oil production, with the first oil well drilled in the county in 1907. The oil boom brought an influx of people and money to the area, and the county’s population grew rapidly.
