Our Community
Living in Newkirk
Newkirk is a small Oklahoma town with strong community bonds and a proud history dating back to the Land Run of September 16, 1893. Originally named Lamoreaux and then Santa Fe, the town was renamed Newkirk and has grown into a tight-knit community with everything you need close to home.
Residents enjoy local police and fire departments, a public library, parks, a golf course, low taxes, and a thriving Historic District on the National Register since 1984 — featuring distinctive Plains Romanesque architecture throughout the downtown business district.

A Community Since 1893
Newkirk was founded on September 16, 1893 during the Cherokee Strip Land Run — one of the most famous land rushes in American history. Settlers staked their claims and built the town that would become the heart of Kay County.
More than 130 years later, that same pioneering spirit drives our Chamber and our community forward. Newkirk's downtown business district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, recognizing its outstanding collection of Plains Romanesque commercial architecture.
