The North Fork of the Red River forms part of the county&#8217;s southwestern boundary, and two reservoirs, Lake Altus-Lugert and Tom Steed Reservoir, supply irrigation and recreation water in the county&#8217;s south and west.<\/p>\n<p>Kiowa County borders <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/washita-county\/\">Washita County<\/a> to the north, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/caddo-county\/\">Caddo County<\/a> to the east, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/comanche-county-oklahoma\/\">Comanche County<\/a> to the southeast, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/tillman-county\/\">Tillman County<\/a> to the south, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/jackson-county-oklahoma\/\">Jackson County<\/a> to the southwest, and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/greer-county\/\">Greer County<\/a> to the west.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Kiowa County had 8,509 residents at the 2020 census, spread across about 1,015 square miles of land for a density of roughly 8 people per square mile. Hobart and Snyder are the county&#8217;s two largest communities, together holding most of its population. Median household income in the county runs below the Oklahoma median of $62,138, reflecting the county&#8217;s dependence on agriculture and a population that has been declining for decades.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Wheat, cattle, and cotton farming anchor Kiowa County&#8217;s economy, supplemented by oil and natural gas production in the western part of the county. Hobart, the county seat, serves as the county&#8217;s retail and services hub and is home to the Kiowa County Courthouse and Kiowa County Memorial Hospital. Lake Altus-Lugert draws boating and fishing traffic from across southwestern Oklahoma in the warmer months.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Kiowa County was organized on July 8, 1901, when the U.S. government opened the former Kiowa-Comanche-Apache reservation land to settlement following the Oklahoma Territory land lottery of that year. The county takes its name from the Kiowa people, whose reservation had covered the area before allotment. Hobart, platted the same year and named for Republican Vice President Garret Hobart, was selected as county seat and grew quickly as a rail town on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific line.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>US Highway 62 and US Highway 183 cross at Hobart, and State Highways 9, 19, and 44 provide the county&#8217;s other main routes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lawton &mdash; about 30 miles southeast, via US-62<\/li>\n<li>Altus &mdash; about 35 miles southwest, via US-62 and US-283<\/li>\n<li>Elk City &mdash; about 45 miles northwest, via SH-9 and SH-6<\/li>\n<li>Oklahoma City &mdash; about 125 miles northeast, via US-62 and I-44<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The nearest commercial airport is Lawton-Fort Sill Regional Airport in Comanche County.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Kiowa County, Oklahoma?<\/strong><br \/>It sits in southwestern Oklahoma, bordered by Washita, Caddo, Comanche, Tillman, Jackson, and Greer counties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Kiowa County?<\/strong><br \/>8,509 people, at the 2020 census.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Kiowa County?<\/strong><br \/>1,031 square miles (2,670 km2), of which 1,015 square miles are land and 15 square miles are water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Kiowa County?<\/strong><br \/>Hobart is the county seat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns are in Kiowa County?<\/strong><br \/>Two cities (Hobart and Snyder) and six incorporated towns (Cooperton, Gotebo, Lone Wolf, Mountain Park, Mountain View, and Roosevelt), plus several unincorporated communities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes are in Kiowa County?<\/strong><br \/>73651 (Hobart), 73566 (Snyder), 73062 (Mountain View), 73655 (Lone Wolf), 73564 (Roosevelt), 73041 (Gotebo), and 73559 (Mountain Park).<\/p>\n<p><strong>What mountains are in Kiowa County?<\/strong><br \/>The Washita Mountains, a low granite range, cross the county&#8217;s southern edge near Mountain Park and Mountain View.<\/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>Kiowa County is a county in Oklahoma, United States, where the Washita Mountains rise out of the plains along the North Fork of the Red River.
