Murray County
Created at statehood from part of the Chickasaw Nation, Murray County was named for William H. Murray, president of the Constitutional Convention and later Governor of Oklahoma. Sulphur, the county seat, was originally called Sulphur Springs for the bromide and sulphur waters that attracted thousands of people to the area early in the century. Murray County is 425 square miles of mountains and valleys.
Things To See and Do
The Arbuckle Mountains is a range of low, rolling hills, rising c.700 ft (210 m) above the prairie, south Oklahoma; remnant of mountains formed in the Precambrian era. Interesting geological formations have resulted from the varying erosional rates of the different rock types found in the area.
