Ioland was a town in Ellis County, Oklahoma. It is near the Canadian River and borders the south-eastern portion of the county. Nothing remains there, besides the Ioland Cemetery.

## History

[edit]

The town was a part of the now non-existent Day County.[1] It was the county seat for a short period of time until it was switched to Grand on the 14th of November, 1893.[2] The first man lynched in Oklahoma since its organization as a territory, J.L. Chandler, was a resident of Ioland. He was lynched due to allegedly poisoning the water supply.[3]
