Partnering with the Iowa Tribe‏

In 1878, Iowa Tribal members began moving into Oklahoma. In 1883 they were given lands within the Sac and Fox Reservation. Originally the tribe’s main settlement was in the Fallis area, but later, headquarters was moved a few miles south of Perkins, where it is today.

Differences in City and County Government

 
The recent wind storm which damaged so many trees in south Logan County generated several phone calls regarding debris removal. Some who called mentioned that the city removes debris, and they wondered if the county could do the same. We explained that municipal government provides debris removal because those who live within city limits pay a waste management fee. The county does not collect a fee to provide this service.
