Kay County comprises the Ponca City micropolitan statistical area. It is in north-central Oklahoma on the Kansas state line.
Before statehood, Kay County was formed from the "Cherokee Strip" or "Cherokee Outlet" and originally designated as county "K". Its name means simply that.[3][4] Kay County is the only county to keep its same name as the Oklahoma area moved from a territory to a state.
