Planning Your Visit
Nowata is the Nowata County seat — the Delaware Nation cultural connections, the Nowata City-County Library (which houses one of Oklahoma's smallest but best collections of local history), and the beautiful Verdigris River valley country define this quiet corner of northeast Oklahoma.
A Closer Look
Held each August in Nowata, Nowata County Free Fair celebrates the cattle ranching and petroleum heritage of a county whose town name comes from a Delaware word meaning "welcome. "
Fair Highlights
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rolling post oak and tallgrass prairie country of the Verdigris River watershed.
