Welcome!
Kiowa County was created on April 11, 1889, taking its name for the Kiowa Indians.

Incorporated towns are Sheridan Lake, Eads and Haswell. Unincorporated towns are Towner, Brandon, Chivington and Arlington. Kiowa County is dedicated to providing economic, social, health and other services to its citizens.
