The citizens of NEWKIRK welcome your interest in our community. We are proud of our community and our unique heritage as the county seat of Kay County established during the great land run with the opening of the Cherokee Outlet on September 16, 1893. As a small rural community, it is meeting the challenge of a changing economic scene.

As a result of the dedication and leadership of community volunteers, NEWKIRK was selected as one of the first three small towns in the state to participate in the National Main Street Program, designed to revitalize and improve business areas. Historic store fronts have been renovated and once empty buildings are filling with successful new businesses.

The community has invested in itself for the future. The city has an unlimited supply of electricity, a new sewer plant, and a recently renovated water treatment plant. With the assistance of the the city it has refurbished the downtown area with new sidewalks, landscaping, street lighting, a newly resurfaced Main Street and a positive attitude about the future.
