Carter Nine was an unincorporated community in Osage County, Oklahoma, United States, located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of Shidler. Carter Nine had a post office, which opened on August 14, 1928.[2] Carter Nine began as a company-owned town to house workers for an oil refinery operated by the Carter Oil Company. The plant was transferred to Skelly Oil Company and then to Phillips Petroleum Company before its closure in 1945.[3] The town was abandoned after the plant was closed, and none of its buildings currently remain standing.[3] The name Carter Nine was derived from a combination of the Carter Oil Company and the community's location in Section 9 of Township 26 North, Range 6 East.[2]
