Anadarko Area Office
The Anadarko Area Office, established in 1948, is essentially
a continuation of the Kiowa Agency, created in 1864 and
permanently located in Indian Territory in 1869. After
the Wichita Agency was merged with it in 1878, the Kiowa
Agency, for some years usually called the Kiowa, Comanche,
and Wichita Agency, was responsible for Kiowa, Comanche,
Kiowa-Apache, Delaware, Caddo, Wichita and affiliated
Indians, and, later, Fort Sill Apache. In more recent
years the agency had some responsibilities for the Alabama-
Coushatti Indians of Texas.
The records, 1881-1925 (1,532 ft. in FARC Fort Worth)
include general correspondence and correspondence
concerning lands, heirship, townsites and schools;
accounts and case files for individual Indians; land
transaction files; annuity payrolls; annual reports;
and records of employees.
