Indian Tribes Associated With This Agency
Seminole

History
In 1842, a separate subagency for the western Seminole was established on the Deep Fork of the Canadian River and was moved to the Little River in 1845. Many of the Seminoles of Florida moved to Indian Territory in 1858 and came under the Seminole Agency there, which had become a full agency in 1855. During the Civil War, the Seminole Indians who remained loyal to the United States went to Kansas and the agency operated at Neosho Falls. It was moved back to Wevoka in Indian Territory in 1867.

In 1874, this Seminole Agency in the West was consolidated with the Choctaw Agency, Creek Agency, and Cherokee Agency into what became the Union Agency in Oklahoma. In 1913, the Seminoles who remained in Florida had a separate agency created for them, called the Seminole Agency.
