Geary is a city in Blaine and Canadian counties in the U.S. state of Oklahoma.
The area occupied by the present city of Geary was previously part of the Cheyenne-Arapaho reservation until it was opened in April, 1892 for settlement by non-Indians.
Settlers moved the town to the present site to be located on the proposed route of the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad line that was to be built west from El Reno.
[5] Edmund Guerriere, of French - Cheyenne ancestry and a former Army scout and interpreter, had acquired a land allotment about 3 miles (4.8 km) northeast of the town.
[5] In the 1901-1902 timeframe, the town became the starting point for a second railway, the Choctaw Northern Railroad, which ran north all the way to Anthony, Kansas.
[6][7][8] Quickly becoming a trade center for the agricultural area that surrounded it, Geary was established as a "first-class city" in Oklahoma Territory in 1902.
[5] In October 2024, prior to the end of the month, three city council positions were filled, with the fourth seat not being occupied.
October 31, 2024, all of the municipal police officers resigned at the same time, as did two members of the city council.
The city limits extend southeast along U.S. Route 281 8 miles (13 km) from the center of town to Exit 108 on Interstate 40.
[12] The remainder of the townsite, in Canadian County, is also in Geary Public Schools.
