Apache is a town in Caddo County, Oklahoma, United States.

[4] Before opening the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache Reservation on August 1, 1901, for unrestricted settlement by non-Indians, Land Lottery Director William A. Richards had recommended setting aside the land now occupied by Apache as a townsite.

According to the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, five lumberyards and six saloons opened for business within hours after the run.

[5] An election of the town's first city officials was held in an outdoor meeting on the evening of August 6, 1901.

27.6% of all households were made up of individuals, and 15.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Apache began as an agricultural center, with wheat and cattle as the primary products, and remains that to the present.
