A United States Post Office operated at Goodland, Indian Territory from August 21, 1871, to February 28, 1902.
She used the term Kiamitia County in her epic history, The Rise and Fall of the Choctaw Republic (1934).
Edwin C. McReynolds, in his landmark Historical Atlas of Oklahoma (1965), renders the spelling of the county as "Kiamichi".
This area fell within neighboring Red River and Towson counties of the Choctaw Nation.
As proposed by the Sequoyah Constitutional Convention, the State of Seqyoyan would abolish the Choctaw county boundaries and establish new ones.
Constitutional officers, all of whom served for two-year terms and were elected by the voters, included the county judge, sheriff, and a ranger.
The sheriff collected taxes, monitored unlawful intrusion by intruders (usually white Americans from the United States), and conducted the census.
