several of the smallest crossroads communities, including Karma, Pickwick and Wasseta, have no independent postal designation and use a neighboring town&#8217;s ZIP.<\/p>\n<h2>ZIP Codes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>74701 &mdash;

The Blue River crosses the county&#8217;s eastern side, and Lake Texoma, formed by the Denison Dam on the Red River, covers much of the southern edge, giving the county a long shoreline of coves and inlets rather than a single straight river border. Of the county&#8217;s 944 square miles, 904 square miles are land and the remaining 39 square miles are water &mdash; a water share driven almost entirely by the lake.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan County borders <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/atoka-county\/\">Atoka County<\/a> to the north, Choctaw County to the east and northeast, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/marshall-county-oklahoma\/\">Marshall County<\/a> to the west, and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/johnston-county-oklahoma\/\">Johnston County<\/a> to the northwest. Across the Red River and Lake Texoma to the south lie three Texas counties: <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/grayson-county-texas\/\">Grayson County<\/a> to the southwest, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/fannin-county-texas\/\">Fannin County<\/a> to the south, and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/lamar-county-texas\/\">Lamar County<\/a> to the southeast.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Bryan County had 46,067 residents at the 2020 census, spread across 904 square miles of land for a density of about 51 people per square mile. Durant is by far the largest community; Calera, just south of Durant along US-69\/75, is the county&#8217;s second-largest incorporated town. Bryan County&#8217;s median household income runs below the Oklahoma median of $62,138, reflecting the county&#8217;s rural, agriculture- and service-heavy economy outside the Durant metro core.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma has its tribal headquarters in Durant, making the Nation one of the county&#8217;s largest employers alongside Southeastern Oklahoma State University, also based in Durant. Lake Texoma draws boating, fishing and camping traffic from both Oklahoma and North Texas, and the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant is a major regional destination. Agriculture, particularly cattle ranching and hay production on the county&#8217;s rolling grassland, remains important away from the lake and the city.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Bryan County was organized in 1907, the year Oklahoma became a state, and is the only county in the country named for Democratic politician William Jennings Bryan. Before statehood the land belonged to the Choctaw Nation, and Armstrong Academy, a Choctaw boarding school in the county, briefly served as the Choctaw Nation&#8217;s capital during the Civil War era. Bloomfield Academy, another historic Choctaw and Chickasaw school site, also lies within the county.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>US-69\/75 runs north&ndash;south through Durant and Calera, and US-70 crosses the county east&ndash;west, linking Durant to Achille and on toward the Texas state line.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sherman, Texas &mdash; about 20 miles south<\/li>\n<li>Ardmore &mdash; about 45 miles west<\/li>\n<li>McAlester &mdash; about 65 miles north<\/li>\n<li>Dallas, Texas &mdash; about 100 miles south<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The nearest commercial airport is Dallas Fort Worth International, roughly two hours south by car; Eaker Field in Durant handles general aviation.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Bryan County, Oklahoma?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt is in southeastern Oklahoma, along Lake Texoma and the Red River border with Texas, about 100 miles north of Dallas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Bryan County?<\/strong><br \/>\n46,067 at the 2020 census.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Bryan County?<\/strong><br \/>\n944 square miles (2,440 km2), of which 904 square miles are land and 39 square miles are water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Bryan County?<\/strong><br \/>\nDurant is the county seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns are in Bryan County?<\/strong><br \/>\nBryan County has 13 incorporated cities and towns, 6 census-designated places, and about 29 more unincorporated communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes are in Bryan County?<\/strong><br \/>\nDurant is 74701; other towns include Achille (74720), Bennington (74723), Bokchito (74726), Caddo (74729), Calera (74730), Colbert (74733) and Kenefic (74748).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is Bryan County named after William Jennings Bryan?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt was organized at statehood in 1907 and named for the Democratic politician; it remains the only U.S. county named for him.<\/p>\n<p>More counties in this state: <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/category\/oklahoma\/\">Towns and villages in Oklahoma<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bryan County is a county in Oklahoma, United States, in the southeastern part of the state, where Lake Texoma forms most of the border with Texas.
