COUNTY ORGANIZED: 1901 from Wichita-Delaware-Caddo and Kiowa-Comanche-Apache Indian Reservation lands. Originally designated as "I" County, the name was changed after the area was opened to settlement. Portions of Caddo County were absorbed by Grady County in 1907 and 1911.
COUNTY NAMED FOR:  The Caddo Indians. The word is derived from "Kaddi" meaning life or chief.

COUNTY SEAT NAMED FOR: Derived from a Caddo Indian word Na-da-ko, the name of one of the Caddoan tribes, which means "place of the bumble bee.

COURTHOUSES: 1901, 1902, and 1958.  The 1902 building is the same design as the 1905 Kiowa Couty Courthouse in Hobart and the 1902 Comanche County Courthouse in Lawton.  It is likely that all three of these territorial county courthouse buildings were built from the same plans provided by the U.S. Department of Interior.
