Oklahoma County, Oklahoma
Oklahoma County is a county located in the central part of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. As of the 2020 census, the population was 796,292, making it the most populous county in Oklahoma. The county seat is Oklahoma City, the state capital and largest city. Oklahoma County is at the heart of the Oklahoma City metropolitan statistical area. Oklahoma County is one of seven counties in the United States to share the same name as the state it is located in (the other six being Arkansas County, Hawaii County, Idaho County, Iowa County, New York County (Manhattan), and Utah County), and the only one of the seven to contain the state capital, and one of two to contain a city of the same name as well.
The area that would someday be called Oklahoma County was originally inhabited by members of the indigenous nations of the Southern Plains, but by the 1830s the land would become part of the territory assigned to the Seminoles and Creeks after their removal from their ancestral lands in the Southeastern USA.
As a result of the Reconstruction era treaties signed between the US government and the Seminole and Creek nations in 1866, the land was taken from tribal jurisdiction but not assigned to other tribal governments, which in time led it to be called the Unassigned Lands. In 1889, the US federal government held a land run for the Unassigned lands, which led to the rapid settlement of the area.
By 1890, Oklahoma County was called "County Two" and was one of seven counties established by the Organic Act of 1890.
County business initially took place in a building at the intersection of California Avenue and Robinson Street until the construction of the first Oklahoma County Courthouse at 520 West Main Street in the 1900s. In 1937, the county government was moved to a building at 321 Park Avenue, which now serves only as the county courthouse.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 718 square miles (1,860 km2), of which 709 square miles (1,840 km2) is land and 9.6 square miles (25 km2) (1.3%) is water.
The Census Bureau estimated the county's population at 802,559 in 2022, while 2017–2021 American Community Survey estimates reported that 54.5% of residents were non-Hispanic white, 15.8% Black or African American, 4.7% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 5.8% multiracial, and 18.5% Hispanic or Latino of any race; 10.2% of residents were foreign-born during the same period. During 2017–2021 there were 313,822 households with an average of 2.48 people per household, the median value of an owner-occupied housing unit was $164,000, and the median gross rent was $929. The median household income was $58,239 with a per capita income of $34,129, and 16.3% of residents lived at or below the poverty line.
As of the 2020 census, the county had a population of 796,292. Of the residents, 24.4% were under the age of 18 and 14.5% were 65 years of age or older; the median age was 35.4 years. For every 100 females there were 96.1 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 93.2 males.
