Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indian Agency (Oklahoma): Difference between revisions

Southern Cheyenne, Arapaho of Oklahoma

The Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency was established in 1874 and was the successor to the Upper Arkansas Agency. It was divided in 1902 and from it the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency, the Seger Agency, and the Cantonement Agency were created. In 1917, the Red Moon Agency was separated from the Seger Agency.&nbsp; The former Seger Agency was closed, 31 March 1927, and attached to the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Agency, 20 October 1927. At that time, the agencies which had been divided off the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency all were reunited under the original name.<br>

The name of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency was changed in 1963 to the Concho Agency.
