"Okarche is a town in Canadian and Kingfisher counties in the U.S. state of Oklahoma, and a part of the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area.

"Canadian County was formed in 1889 as an original county from former Indian land. It was named after the Canadian River, which runs through the county. It was settled by white settlers during the Oklahoma Land Run of April 22, 1889. Here was also where the last great battle between the Cheyenne, Arapaho and the US Army took place."
