This marker is on the 100th Meridian, now the west boundary of Oklahoma. Under the terms of the Adams-Onis Treaty of 1819 it was the international boundary between the United States and Spanish Territory. Ownership of Old Greer County (the area between the North Fork of Red River and Red River) was claimed by fourteen different governments from 1629 to 1896 when the US Supreme Court declared the area part of Oklahoma Territory.
