==History== {{See also|History of Oklahoma City}} The area that would someday be called Oklahoma County was originally inhabited by members of the indigenous nations of the Southern Plains, but by the 1830s the land would become part of the territory assigned to the Seminoles and Creeks after their removal from their ancestral lands in the Southeastern USA.<ref name=":1" />

As a result of the Reconstruction era treaties signed between the US government and the Seminole and Creek nations in 1866, the land was taken from tribal jurisdiction but not assigned to other tribal governments, which in time led it to be called the Unassigned Lands. In 1889, the US federal government held a land run for the Unassigned lands, which led to the rapid settlement of the area.<ref>[https://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=UN001 "Unassigned lands"] ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture,'' Oklahoma Historical Society. Accessed August 10, 2021.</ref>

By 1890, Oklahoma County was called "County Two" and was one of seven counties established by the Organic Act of 1890.<ref name=":1">Wilson, Linda D. [http://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=OK039 "Oklahoma County,"] ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture'', Oklahoma Historical Society, 2009. Accessed April 4, 2015.</ref>

County business initially took place in a building at the intersection of California Avenue and Robinson Street until the construction of the first Oklahoma County Courthouse at 520 West Main Street in the 1900s. In 1937, the county government was moved to a building at 321 Park Avenue, which now serves only as the county courthouse.<ref>[http://www.oklahomacounty.org/aboutus/historytxt.htm "A Brief History of Oklahoma County Government."] OklahomaCounty.org.

==Politics== Since the second half of the 20th century, Oklahoma County has been quite conservative for an urban county. It swung from a 20-point victory for Harry Truman in 1948 to a 15-point victory for Dwight Eisenhower in 1952. It has gone Republican in all but one presidential election since then; it narrowly voted for Lyndon Johnson in 1964. This mirrors the growing Republican trend in Oklahoma since the end of World War II. It was one of the few areas in the South where Jimmy Carter didn't do well.{{cn|date=October 2025}}

In 1982, Oklahoma County elected the first Black county commissioner in Oklahoma, Shirley Ann Bruce Darrell.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Wilson |first1=Linda D. |title=Darrell, Shirtley Ann Bruce (1936–2013) |url=https://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry?entry=DA022 |website=okhistory.org |publisher=Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture |access-date=October 3, 2025 |date=May 12, 2025}}</ref>
