Why this spot
1901-1952 ranch county seat
Plemons was founded in 1901 on donated homestead land near the Canadian River and served as Hutchinson County seat, with Billy Dixon of Adobe Walls fame running a boarding house and serving as sheriff. The railroad bypassed it, the seat moved to Stinnett in 1926, and despite a brief oil boom the town declined; the post office closed in 1952.View source →
