Calumet is a town in Canadian County, Oklahoma, United States and is part of the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area. The population was 507 at the 2010 census, a 5.23 percent decrease since 2000.[5]
Calumet is a variant term for Ceremonial pipe.[6] Incorporated in 1942, the town's land was settled in the Land Run of 1892.
History
Calumet incorporated in 1942 in order to construct a town water system.[7] Prior to its incorporation, the town existed as an unincorporated community with a post office, three combination mills and elevators, two general stores, a furniture store, and a hardware store.[7]
The town lies in an area that in 1803 was part of the Louisiana Purchase.[8] After the Organic Act of 1890 recreated the area as Oklahoma Territory, present-day Canadian County was designated as County Four and settled by non-Indian settlers through the Land Run of 1889, the Land Run of 1892, and a 1901 land lottery.[8] The Land Run of 1892 opened up the surplus Cheyenne-Arapaho lands to non-Indian settlement, which opened up Calumet.
