Tecumseh (Meskwaki: Takamithîheki) is a city in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. The population was 6,302 by the 2020 United States census. It was named for the noted Shawnee chief, Tecumseh. The locale was designated as the county seat at Oklahoma's statehood, but a county-wide election moved the seat to Shawnee in 1930. == History == A 320-acre (130-hectare) site was opened for settlement September 23, 1891, as a result of the land run into reservations of the Sac and Fox, Kiowa, Kickapoo, Shawnee, and Pottawatomi peoples. The townsite, named Tecumseh by a U.S. Army major, had been designated as the seat of County "B" in the newly formed Oklahoma Territory by the Department of the Interior on July 17, 1891. A post office was established in the town on September 18, 1891. Railroads first arrived in 1896, when the Tecumseh Railway built a line in from Shawnee. This trackage, acquired by the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad, was extended to Asher in 1902, and was later owned by the Rock Island. In 1903, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway began serving Tecumseh's surrounding agricultural region, in which cotton was the main crop.
