Chilocco Indian Agricultural School
The Chilocco Indian School was a non-reservation boarding school established by the Office of Indian Affairs for the vocational education of Indian children. In operation for nearly a century (1884-1980), the school drew students from over 40 tribes. Enrollment ranged from slightly over 100 during the first year to well over 1,000 in 1931. It was closed in June 1980 by congressional mandate.
Land for use of the school was set aside by President James A. Garfield in an Executive Order of July 12, 1884. The Honorable James M. Haworth, first Superintendent of Indian Schools, selected the 8,640 acre site in Indian Territory of Chilocco Creek, four miles south of the Kansas line and approximately fifteen miles north of Ponca City, Oklahoma.
