Carter County, Oklahoma
Carter County sits in south-central Oklahoma with Ardmore as the county seat. It’s a town with a split personality. It’s part oil boom town, part cowboy culture.
The county’s got a rich history. Did you know it was the site of Oklahoma’s largest oil field? The boom days are gone, but oil still plays a big role here.
Lake Murray State Park is Oklahoma’s oldest and largest state park. The water’s so clear, you can see fish swimming around your toes. The Chickasaw Nation has deep roots in this area. Their influence is everywhere. From casinos to cultural centers, they’re a big part of county life.
