Stillwell Is A Part Of "Green County Oklahoma"
Created in 1907 from the lands of the Cherokee Nation's Going Snake and Flint Districts, Adair County was named in honor of Watt Adair, one of the first Cherokee settlers of Indian Territory.
The town of Stilwell was named after Arthur E. Stilwell, the first superintendent of the KC Southern Railroad. The town was formed in 1897 and has been the county seat since 1910.

Stilwell is also near the geographical center of the county and first appeared on the map in 1895, about the time the railroad builders reached that point, although a post office by the name of Flint, a general store and a few houses had been in existence in that neighborhood for many years.
Area attractions include the Strawberry Festival, the Bell Indian Pow Wow, a 3-day rodeo, Cherokee National Holiday and more. Points of interest within Adair County include the site near Westville of the Old Baptist Missionary Church, built by the "Trail of Tears" Cherokees in 1836.
