}}Jackson County is a county located in the southwestern corner of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. As of the 2010 census, the population was 26,446.[1] Its county seat is Altus.[2] According to the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, the county was named for two historical figures: President Andrew Jackson and Confederate General Stonewall Jackson.[3] One source states that the county was named only for the former President,[4] while an earlier source states it was named only for General Stonewall Jackson.[5]

Jackson County comprises the Altus, OK Micropolitan Statistical Area.

History

After a dispute over the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819, both the governments of the United States and the state of Texas claimed ownership of some {{convert|1500000|acre|km2}} in what was then operated as Greer County, Texas. Litigation followed, and in the case of United States v. State of Texas {{ussc|162|1|1896}}, issued on March 16, the Supreme Court, having original jurisdiction over the case, decided in favor of the United States. Greer County was then assigned to the Oklahoma Territory on May 4, 1896. When Oklahoma became the 46th U.S. state (November 16, 1907), old "Greer County" was divided into Greer, Jackson, and part of Beckham counties.

Altus was originally designated as the seat of Jackson County. Olustee vied in an unsuccessful bid to replace Altus as the seat in an election on July 18, 1908.[3]

Geography

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of {{convert|804|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|803|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|1.6|sqmi}} (0.2%) is water.[6]

Most of the county is within the Red Bed Plains physiographic region. The western part lies in the Gypsum Hills and the northeastern part is in the Wichita Mountains. The county is drained by the Red River and its tributaries, the North Fork of the Red River and the Salt Fork of the Red River.[3]
