List Of Census-designated Places In Oklahoma
The list of Census Designated Places in Oklahoma contains those areas defined by the US Census Bureau as CDPs. A CDP is a "statistical entity ... comprising a densely settled concentration of population that is not within an incorporated place...". CDPs have no governmental powers. For some reason the CDPs in Oklahoma are all located in the northeastern quarter of the state.
Many of the CDPs were named for communities located within the defined entities, or for nearby communities. Where known, the associated communities are also listed for reference. The sources for the associated communities are primarily from Shirk's Oklahoma Place Names ( ISBN 0-8061-2028-2 ), the United States Geological Survey, or the list of unincorporated communities in Oklahoma.
