In 1842, a separate subagency for the western Seminole was established on the Deep Fork of the Canadian River and was moved to the Little River in 1845. Many of the Seminoles of Florida moved to Indian Territory in 1858 and came under the Seminole Agency there, which had become a full agency in 1855. During the Civil War, the Seminole Indians who remained loyal to the United States went to Kansas and the agency operated at Neosho Falls. It was moved back to Wevoka in Indian Territory in 1867. | In 1842, a separate subagency for the western Seminole was established on the Deep Fork of the Canadian River and was moved to the Little River in 1845.
