Located in the Oklahoma Panhandle, present-day Beaver County was
created from the eastern one-third of that area. Named for Beaver River,
this county comprised the entire panhandle prior to statehood. Its
county seat, Beaver, was at one time the capital of Cimarron Territory.
Bordered on the north by Kansas and the south by Texas, Beaver County
was crossed by the Jones and Plummer Trail. Established around 1874,
this trail served first as a supply route and then a cattle trail
between Texas and Kansas.
While the local economy is based on agriculture and cattle, it is also
supplemented by the oil and gas industries
