About Jet

Jet is a town in southeast Alfalfa County, Oklahoma, United States. The 2020 census counted 197 residents. The community of Jet was founded by the Jett brothers, six unmarried brothers named Joseph, Trigg, Newt, Warner, John, and Richard Jett, who established homesteads in the former Cherokee Outlet, shortly after its opening to settlement by non-Indians. The brothers erected buildings and opened a general store on Richard's land. Jet's economy has been based on farming since its inception. The main products are wheat, livestock, and poultry.

Jet-Nash High School served Jet up until 2013, when the school folded due to a lack of sufficient funds. That mix gives Jet a clear local shape within Oklahoma, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present. Jet is 12 miles east-southeast of the county seat, Cherokee. Jet is located at the intersection of U.S. Highway 64 and State Highway 38.
