Washington County, located in the northeastern region of the great state of Oklahoma, was created in 1907 when Oklahoma gained statehood. Prior to this, the region was part of the Indian Territory, and inhabited primarily by the Cherokee Nation. The Cherokee Nation had settled in the Indian Territory after being forcibly removed from their ancestral lands in Georgia and the southeastern United States during the infamous Trail of Tears in the 1830s.
Bartlesville, the county seat, was founded in 1897 by Jacob Bartles, who played a vital role in the early development of the town by building various businesses and infrastructure projects, including a general store, a mill, and a toll bridge over the Caney River. The town experienced further growth when oil was discovered in 1897, leading to an economic boom as several oil companies established their operations in the area.
One fun fact about Washington County is its connection to a major American oil company - Phillips 66. Founded in 1917 by two brothers, Frank and L.E. Phillips, the company built its first gasoline station in Bartlesville in 1927. The name, Phillips 66, came from the fact that the new gasoline they were developing performed well at 66 miles per hour - still a high speed in those days - on the then newly-built Route 66. Today, the headquarters of Phillips 66 is located in Houston, Texas, but the company maintains strong historical ties to Bartlesville and Washington County.
