Grant County, located in north-central Oklahoma, lies in the most northern tier of counties bordered on the north by the state of Kansas. Surrounded by Kay County on the east, Garfield County on the south, and Alfalfa County on the west, Grant County has a total of 1,003.61 squares miles of land and water. Situated in the Red Bed Plains and in the Great Salt Plains, the area is noted as a wheat-growing region. The grassy plains are drained by the Salt Fork of the Arkansas River, which flows from west to east in the southern half of the county. North-south tributaries such as Pond, Deer, Osage, and Crooked creeks flow into the Salt Fork. The Chikaskia River (pronounced chi-KAS-kee-uh) originates in the county's northeastern corner, crossing west to east into Kay County.  The county was named after Pres. Ulysses S. Grant.

Our goal is to help you track your ancestors through time by transcribing genealogical and historical data and placing it online for the free use of all researchers. This is a continuation of our original
Illinois Trails History and Genealogy Project and we are excited about this opportunity to expand into other states.

We welcome your feedback and comments, and of course, your data contributions. If you have transcribed data that you would like to have posted on this website, please
send it to us.

If you would like to be kept informed of our state and county website updates, subscribe to our
mailing lists

We are looking for a coordinator for this site. We're looking for folks who share our dedication to putting data online and are interested in helping this project be as helpful and useful to researchers as it can be.
