What's more, Frenchtown is a charming and scenic place to visit, walk or bike our canal paths, spend a day in one of our spas, and perhaps catch a play with our River Union Stage. We host three big festivals a year: for 2007 the Wine and Art Weekend (May 5-6), Bastille Weekend (July 14-15) and RiverFest (Sept 1-3).
GREER COUNTY. Located in southwestern Oklahoma, Greer County is bounded by Beckham County on the north, Kiowa County on the east, Jackson County on the south, and Harmon County on the west. Organized from Old Greer County at 1907 statehood, Greer County is named for former Texas Lt. Governor John A. Greer. Mangum is the county seat.
It became part of the United States and was admitted as a State on December 29, 1845. It reached essentially its present boundaries in 1850, after the sale to the United States of an extensive northwestern area. In 1896 a long-standing dispute over what is now Greer County, Oklahoma was decided against Texas by the U.S. Supreme Court.
