== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Dewey is one of Oklahoma's most overwhelmingly Republican counties.
* The county economy has centered on agriculture since it began to be settled. Principal crops have included corn, cotton, wheat, broomcorn, Kaffir corn, and oats. Truck farmers in the eastern part of the county grew tomatoes, watermelons, apples, blackberries, and other small fruits. Livestock (cattle, horses, mules, sheep and goats) raising had become important by the 1930s. These products were still economically important by the turn of the 21st Century. Mineral extraction included oil and gas production (mainly in the 1940s and 1950s), bentonite, gypsum, clay and sand. In 2000, Dewey County had only two manufacturing businesses that employed more than ten people.
* Both Seiling and Vici have municipal airports.
* Dewey County in general has very little amenities to offer.
* The Dewey County Electric Mills are located in between Camargo and Taloga.
* According to the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, the name Taloga is of Indian origin and means either "beautiful valley" or "rocking water".
* Seiling developed as a local agricultural center and became the largest town in Dewey County despite the fact that the nearest railroad depot was in Canton, more than 25 miles (40 km) away . Moreover, there were no bridges across either of the Canadian rivers until 1906. A horse racing track was built in 1903.
