“Cheyenne Camp Near Darlington, 1890,” photograph by Christopher C. Stotz, El Reno, Oklahoma Territory (10068, Nadine Pendleton Collection, OHS Research Center). This photograph by Christopher C. Stotz reveals a Cheyenne camp on the North Canadian River, north of Fort Reno near Darlington, Oklahoma Territory. In 1870 the Cheyenne-Arapaho Agency was established on the north bank of the North Canadian River. It was later renamed Darlington Agency after its first agent, Brinton Darlington. Numerous threats of violence between American Indians and cattlemen led to the opening of Fort Reno on the south bank of the river, opposite Darlington, in 1874.
