DOVER ( Second in a series on Kingfisher County town histories.) Situated in Kingfisher County north of the Cimarron River, Dover lies on U.S. Highway 81, nine miles north of Kingfisher, the county seat. The surrounding area had been leased by cattlemen and was commonly called Red Fork Traders’ Ranch because a trading post existed there. The ranch, and future location of Dover, lay along a government road and stage route from Kansas to Fort Reno and near the Chisholm Trail, the pathway of millions of cattle herded from Texas to Kansas in the 1880s.
