Cimarron County, Oklahoma, is located in the northwest section in the Oklahoma Panhandle. It is the only county in the United States that touches four States other than it's own: Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas. Citizens in Cimarron County are farther from their own State capital, Oklahoma City (340 miles) than to capitals of two other States, Colorado and New Mexico.
Until the county seat election of June 11, 1908, Kenton, which had previously been named the temporary county seat, held the county records. Boise City won a runoff election over Doby to capture the designation. A Boise City contingent soon confiscated the county seat papers, prior to the end of the mandatory thirty-day waiting period, creating a controversy and a local legend that Boise City stole the courthouse.
Cimarron County, Oklahoma was formed in 1907 from Beaver County . Birth records are available from 1908, marriage records from 1907, and death records since 1908. Land records exist since 1900, while probate and court records are on file in the county courthouse since 1907.
Boise rhymes with "Voice", thought to be named from Boyce Cattle Company.
