The area surrounding Okeene was officially opened to European settlement by the land run of April 19th, 1892. Several settlers had already come into the area in the 1870's forming large ranches, and even earlier around the time of the Civil War. This page tells how Okeene was named. One version says a local resident, Tude Mansfield, made up the three syllable word, O-kee-ne from the words, Oklahoma, Cherokee and Cheyenne. Later, the word was divided up as Ok-ee-ne. But the original spelling was written on early maps as O'keene which made it appear Irish. The local residents protested and the name's spelling was officially changed to Okeene.
