It had a population of 26,945 at the 2020 census and covers 1,290 square miles (3,341 km2), centred near 35&deg;11&prime;N 98&deg;23&prime;W.<\/p>\n<p>Anadarko is the county seat, and its postal code is 73005. The county has one city, twelve incorporated towns, one census-designated place and roughly a dozen unincorporated communities. Oklahoma has no civil townships, so county government runs directly at the county level. Caddo County sits in the Central time zone and carries FIPS code 40015.<\/p>\n<h2>Towns &amp; Villages in Caddo County<\/h2>\n<p>Caddo County&#8217;s dozen towns ring Anadarko, the seat, along the Washita River valley and the old Kiowa-Comanche-Apache-Wichita-Caddo reservation lands. Washita is the county&#8217;s only census-designated place. The remaining names below are unincorporated communities &mdash; crossroads, former rail sidings and post-office stops without their own municipal government.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tv-table-scroll\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Place<\/th>\n<th>Type<\/th>\n<th>Pop.<\/th>\n<th>ZIP<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Anadarko<\/td>\n<td>City &middot; seat<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73005<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Apache<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73006<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Binger<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73009<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bridgeport<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Carnegie<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73015<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cement<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73017<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cyril<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73029<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Eakly<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73033<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fort Cobb<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73038<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gracemont<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73042<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hinton<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73047<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hydro<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73048<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Lookeba<\/td>\n<td>Town<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73053<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Washita<\/td>\n<td>CDP<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Albert<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>73001<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Alden<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Alfalfa<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Apache Wye<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Boone<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Broxton<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cogar<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dutton<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Hatchetville<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Indian City<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nowhere<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pine Ridge<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Scott<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sickles<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spring Creek<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Squaretop<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Stecker<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Swan Lake<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Three-Way Corner<\/td>\n<td>Unincorp.<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<td>&mdash;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2>ZIP Codes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>73005 &mdash; Anadarko (also serves Indian City and Apache Wye)<\/li>\n<li>73006 &mdash; Apache<\/li>\n<li>73009 &mdash; Binger<\/li>\n<li>73015 &mdash; Carnegie<\/li>\n<li>73017 &mdash; Cement<\/li>\n<li>73029 &mdash; Cyril<\/li>\n<li>73033 &mdash; Eakly (PO Box service)<\/li>\n<li>73038 &mdash; Fort Cobb<\/li>\n<li>73042 &mdash; Gracemont<\/li>\n<li>73047 &mdash; Hinton<\/li>\n<li>73048 &mdash; Hydro<\/li>\n<li>73053 &mdash; Lookeba<\/li>\n<li>73001 &mdash; Albert (PO Box service)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bridgeport, Washita and the county&#8217;s smaller unincorporated communities use the ZIP code of their nearest post-office town rather than one of their own.<\/p>\n<h2>Geography<\/h2>\n<p>Caddo County lies on the rolling wheat plains and river-bottom farmland of west-central Oklahoma, straddling the Washita River, which crosses the county from northwest to southeast and feeds Fort Cobb Lake near the town of Fort Cobb. The southwestern corner rises toward the Wichita Mountains foothills, while the rest of the county is gently rolling prairie given over to wheat, peanuts and cattle.<\/p>\n<p>Caddo County borders <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/blaine-county-oklahoma\/\">Blaine County<\/a> to the north, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/canadian-county\/\">Canadian County<\/a> to the northeast, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/grady-county-oklahoma\/\">Grady County<\/a> to the east, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/comanche-county-oklahoma\/\">Comanche County<\/a> to the south, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/kiowa-county-oklahoma\/\">Kiowa County<\/a> to the southwest, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/washita-county\/\">Washita County<\/a> to the west, and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/custer-county-oklahoma\/\">Custer County<\/a> to the northwest.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Caddo County had 26,945 residents at the 2020 census, spread across 1,278 square miles of land for a density of about 21 people per square mile &mdash; one of the more sparsely settled counties in western Oklahoma. Anadarko is by far the largest community; the county&#8217;s other towns, led by Binger and Carnegie, are each home to only a few hundred to around a thousand residents. Median household income runs well below the Oklahoma median of $62,138, reflecting the county&#8217;s dependence on agriculture and oilfield work. Caddo County is also one of Oklahoma&#8217;s most ethnically diverse rural counties, with a large American Indian population tied to the Anadarko-area tribal headquarters.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Agriculture anchors the county economy &mdash; wheat, peanuts and cattle ranching dominate the farmland outside Anadarko, and Caddo County has produced oil since 1911. Anadarko itself is known as the &#8220;Indian Capital of the Nation,&#8221; hosting the headquarters of the Caddo, Wichita, Delaware, Kiowa and Apache tribal governments along with the Southern Plains Indian Museum. The American Indian Exposition, held in Anadarko every August since 1932, is the county&#8217;s signature annual event, drawing tribes from across the southern Plains for parades, dances and rodeo.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Caddo County was organized on August 6, 1901, carved from land opened to settlement that year in the Kiowa-Comanche-Apache-Wichita-Caddo lottery. It takes its name from the Caddo tribe, relocated to a reservation here in the 1870s along with the Wichita, Delaware, Kiowa, Comanche and Apache. Anadarko grew up around the federal Indian agency established for those tribes and remains a center of Southern Plains Native American life and government.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>Interstate 40 crosses the county&#8217;s northern edge near Hinton and Hydro, and the H.E. Bailey Turnpike touches its southeastern corner. US Route 62 runs through Anadarko and Apache, US Route 281 runs north&ndash;south through Carnegie and Cyril, and State Highways 8, 9, 19 and 58 connect the smaller towns.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oklahoma City &mdash; 55 miles northeast<\/li>\n<li>Chickasha &mdash; 25 miles east<\/li>\n<li>Lawton &mdash; 35 miles south<\/li>\n<li>Weatherford &mdash; 30 miles northwest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The nearest commercial airport is Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Caddo County, Oklahoma?<\/strong><br \/>It sits in west-central Oklahoma, about an hour west of Oklahoma City, centred near 35&deg;11&prime;N 98&deg;23&prime;W.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Caddo County?<\/strong><br \/>26,945 people, according to the 2020 census.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Caddo County?<\/strong><br \/>1,290 square miles (3,341 km2), including 12 square miles of water along the Washita River and Fort Cobb Lake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Caddo County?<\/strong><br \/>Anadarko is the county seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns are in Caddo County?<\/strong><br \/>One city (Anadarko), twelve incorporated towns, one census-designated place (Washita) and a number of unincorporated communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes are in Caddo County?<\/strong><br \/>Thirteen, led by 73005 (Anadarko), 73006 (Apache), 73009 (Binger), 73015 (Carnegie) and 73038 (Fort Cobb).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is Anadarko called the &#8220;Indian Capital of the Nation&#8221;?<\/strong><br \/>It hosts the headquarters of several Southern Plains tribal governments and the annual American Indian Exposition, held every August since 1932.<\/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>Caddo County is a county in Oklahoma, United States, west of the Oklahoma City metro area, in the west-central part of the state.
