Oklahoma's 8th congressional district is an obsolete district from Oklahoma. It was added in 1915, and was eliminated in 1953. In its final configuration, it covered much of north-central Oklahoma, including Enid. Most of its territory was merged with the Tulsa-based Oklahoma's 1st congressional district. The last congressman from the 8th District, Page Belcher, transferred to the 1st.
