Pawhuska city has been the seat of Osage County since 1907. It w
as settled in 1872 and was named for an Osage chief. Pawhuska means White Hair in the Osage language. The Indian Agency erected the first buildings in 1873. Cattle and oil were the main trades by 1897, and there was a cotton gin and some light manufacturing including oil field equipment and clothing. The Osage Nation has Pawhuska for its capital city. It is also the site of the Osage Tribal Museum. The Cathedral of the Osage began construction in 1910. The windows were crafted in Munich Germany and were hidden during World War I, then shipped to Pawhuska in 1919. One window depicts Osage tribal members who were alive at the time the window was made, which required a special dispensation from the Vatican. The Reverend John Mitchell, a missionary priest from England, formed the first Boy Scout troop in the United States here in May, 1909. It was associated with the Boy Scouts of England, and later joined the American Boy Scouts after their organization was established in 1910. Mitchell had been associated in scout work with Lord Baden-Powell in England. Near Pawhuska is the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, funded by the Nature Conservancy. Bison run free on the preserve. If you visit, please stay in your car and do not try to approach the bison.
