History

In the Great Plains Country of southwestern Oklahoma, Comanche County was formed in 1901 from Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Indian lands. Its county seat, Lawton, is on I-44 about 80 miles southwest of Oklahoma City. Home to the US Army's Fort Sill, Comanche is bordered by the counties of Caddo, Grady, Stephens, Cotton, Tillman and Kiowa.

Census Records

A special thanks to Pat Roberts for transcribing all of our Oklahoma Census records.

Oklahoma was opened to white settlers with the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889. The earliest extant census for Oklahoma Territory is for 1900, and Oklahoma Territory became a state in 1907. No Culpeppers have been found in any Comanche County censuses prior to 1910.
