Cimarron Co. - Boise City

Posted in Oklahoma Counties at 8:31 am by NW Okie

Cimarron County - Oklahoma Panhandle (No Mans Land)

Cimarron County is on the westerly side of the strip with Boise City as the county seat. Cimarron County is known for good farm lands and rough rugged grassland. There are only 3070 counties in the USA, but only one called Cimarron County. It touches four (4) states and in 1990 there was NOT a stop light in the county.

Also thirty (30) miles northwest of Boise City you will find the “Black Mesa State Park”; Dinosaur bones that have been dug up and tracks still visible in the creek beds.

Did you know that Boise City is the only city in the continental USA that was bombed during WWII? Sounds like another mystery to unravel, huh? I haven’t discovered yet, “why it was bombed,” but maybe someone out there reading this could enlighten us with their own little “epistle of knowledge.”
