Pawnee County is unique among Oklahoma�s counties. It represents a microcosm of the state�s culture and heritage. Like Oklahoma; Pawnee County is divided in half by the cross timbers: to the east are woodlands and lakes; and to the west are the short grass country and the Great Plains. The eastern half of the county was a part of old Oklahoma Territory and is filled with lake homes that serve as a bedroom community for Tulsa; while the legacy of the Wild West lives in western Pawnee County; home of the Pawnee Bill Memorial Rodeo. A vibrant agriculture and cattle economy made the county an economic center of the Oklahoma Territory. Then came oil and a rush of fortune seekers. Thousands of wells produced millions of dollars in black gold; as tens of thousands of oilmen rushed to the region; along with gamblers; con men; prostitutes; bootleggers; and other ne�er-do-wells. From this colorful legacy; modern Pawnee County emerged.
