Cloud Chief, originally Tacola, served as the first county seat. The area was settled by land run on April 19, 1892. On August 7, 1900, citizens voted to move the county seat to Cordell, but the US Supreme Court voided the election since the US Congress had designated Cloud Chief the county seat. In 1906, Congress officially named Cordell the county seat.
