Swanson County, Oklahoma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Swanson County is a defunct county in Oklahoma. It was created from southern Kiowa and western Comanche Co.s on August 13, 1910, when Governor Charles N. Haskell proclaimed the county as official in response to a special election by the residents. In January 1911, the state House of Representatives seated the representative from Swanson County. However, residents of Comanche County sued and in Armstrong v. State ex rel. Fain co. Atty (1911 OK 225, 29 Okla. 161, 116 P.) the Oklahoma Supreme Court dissolved the county.
