History
Also known as Anadaca, Anduico, Nadaco, Nandacao.
The Anadarko Tribe is part of the southwestern or Hasinai division of the Caddo Indians. During the late 1600s and early 1700s, they lived near what is now the boundary between Nacogdoches and Rusk counties, Texas. [1]
By the late 1700s, their population was greatly reduced by disease and warfare. Some of the Anadarkos then moved northward and lived along the Sabine River in what became Panola County, Texas. [1]
After the Texas Revolution (1836), they migrated westward and had settlements along the Brazos River and between the Brazos and Trinity rivers north and northwest of present Waco, Texas. [1]
In 1854 they were placed on the Brazos Indian Reservation in the future Young County. [1]
In 1859 they were removed to Indian Territory (Oklahoma). Their descendants now live near the town of Anadarko, Caddo County, Oklahoma.[1]
In 1862 most of the Anadarko tribe went to Kansas because of the Civil War.
In 1867 the tribe returned to the Wichita Agency and became part of the Caddo Nation.[2]
The Anadardo Tribe is now part of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.[3]
