Jet, OK (Alfalfa County)

 

Jet is a town in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 213 at the 2010 census.

 

The community of Jet was founded by six unmarried brothers: Joseph, Trigg, Newt, Warner, John, and Richard Jett, who established homesteads in the former Cherokee Outlet, shortly after its opening to settlement by non-Indians. The brothers erected buildings and opened a general store on Richard's land. The Jet post office was established in 1894, with Warner Jett as the first postmaster. The community grew into a small town, and Jet incorporated in 1900. (1)
