The Garfield County Genealogists is an organization of individuals interested in history and genealogy, dedicated to researching and preserving our family histories, and helping others to research their family lineages. We are located in Garfield County, Oklahoma, in an area with a unique history. Situated at a watering hole on the old Chisholm Trail (Government Springs Park, pictured above), the present-day city of Enid came into existence overnight as a result of the Cherokee Strip Land Run of 1893. Today it is a modern city in a thriving agricultural area of the great plains! |
