Carter Nine was an unincorporated community in Osage County, Oklahoma, United States, located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of Shidler.
The company originally planned to build housing in Burbank, but decided the cost would be too high.
[2] The fenced and gated town initially contained fifty houses.
As the community grew during the 1920s, another 50 private homes were built outside the fence.
The town was abandoned after the plant was closed in the 1950s, when only 39 houses remained, compared to a peak of 300.
