Pawnee (Pawnee: Paári,[4] Iowa-Oto: Páñi Chína[5]) is a city and county seat of Pawnee County, Oklahoma, United States.[6] The town is northeast of Stillwater at the junction of U.S. Route 64 and State Highway 18.[7]

It was named for the Pawnee tribe, which was relocated to this area between 1873 and 1875.[8] The population was 1,936 as of the 2020 Census. [9]

History

The Pawnee Agency and Pawnee Boarding School were established after the Pawnee tribe came to this area in 1875. The Pawnee Agency was designated as a post office on May 4, 1876. The area was opened to non-Indian settlers on September 16, 1893, during the Cherokee Outlet Opening. Townsite Number Thirteen (later Pawnee) had been designated as the temporary county seat. The post office was redesignated from Pawnee Agency to Pawnee on October 26, 1893. The town incorporated on April 16, 1894. On September 9, 1895, the townspeople dedicated a stone county courthouse.[8]

The Eastern Oklahoma Railway, which later became part of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, built a line through Pawnee between 1900 and 1902. In 1902, the Arkansas Valley and Western Railway (later the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway) also built a line through the city. The railroads enabled Pawnee to develop as an agricultural trade center. The population was 1,943 at statehood in 1907.[8] Since statehood, Pawnee has seen a overall decline in population with the 2020 Census reporting a population of 1,936.

Pawnee continued to develop during the Great Depression, largely because of Federal works projects. A hospital to care for the Ponca, Pawnee, Kaw, Otoe, and Tonkawa people opened January 15, 1931. A new school building at the Osage Agency opened in 1932. A new county courthouse was also built in 1932.[8] Finally, the federal government built a reservoir named Pawnee Lake two miles north of town in 1932; the lake has 5.4 miles of shoreline, a surface area of 310 acres, and a maximum depth of 24.3 feet.[10]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.2 square miles (5.7 km2), all land.

2016 earthquake

Main article: 2016 Oklahoma earthquake

A 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Pawnee on September 3, 2016,[12] causing cracks and minor damage to buildings. It was the strongest recorded earthquake in state history, exceeding the 5.7 magnitude 2011 earthquake near Prague, Oklahoma.[13] The earthquake was caused by the deep injection of wastewater created by the practice of fracking to release oil trapped in shale rock.
