Ottawa County |
Ottawa county is named for the Ottawa Indians, but comes from the Algonquian term "adawe", meaning to "buy and sell" or "trade and traffic." It is the northeasternmost county in Oklahoma with Miami serving as the county seat.
The Spring River empties into the Grand (Neosho) River in mid-county on its way south and spawns two state parks in the process. The Spring River Canoe Trails State Park and Twin Bridges State Park near the confluence provide recreational opportunities for thousands of visitors each year.
One nostalgic attraction is historic Route 66 which enters the state in the northeast and exits in the southwest part of the county. A nine-foot section of the original highway can still be viewed just outside Miami.
Post-high school education is offered at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College which is located in Miami.
The county population on July 1, 1999, was 30,881, an increase of 320 over the 1990 census.
