When Greer County was allocated to the Oklahoma Territory in 1896, settlers who were already homesteading there faced uncertainty regarding their land claims. The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately ruled that Texas had no claim over the area, and it was recognized as part of the Oklahoma Territory. As a result, many settlers were allowed to keep their homesteads, but they had to navigate legal processes to formalize their claims under the new territorial laws. This transition led to both opportunities and challenges for the settlers as they adapted to the new governance.
