- The Darlington Agency was an Indian agency on the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indian Reservation prior to statehood in present-day Canadian County, Oklahoma. The agency was established in 1870. The agency established at Fort Supply the previous year was moved to a more accessible location for the tribes. Brinton Darlington, a Quaker for whom the agency was named, was the first United States Indian agent at the agency, a position he held until his death in 1872. The agency gained a post office and an Indian school, the latter run by John Homer Seger. It became a stop on the Chisholm Trail. By 1880, the agency had its own newspaper, the Cheyenne Transporter; it was the first in western Indian Territory. The Cheyenne left in 1897 to form their own agency at Concho. When the Arapaho reunited with them, they both occupied the Concho agency. The Darlington Agency site became the property of the State of Oklahoma after it was admitted to the Union. The Masons leased the site and operated a boarding school and retirement home there until 1922. The state briefly used the site as a drug rehabilitation center before designating it for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation's main bird hatchery and research station. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 14, 1973. (en)
