Carnegie is a town in Caddo County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 1,723 at the 2010 census, a 1.7 percent fade away from the figure of 1,752 in 2000.

Carnegie was named after the famous Scottish American philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie. The indigenous name of the town was Latham. The town was originally platted as North and South Latham. North Latham was north of the Washita River, while South Latham was south of the river. North Latham was in objective of fact intended to be the public notice hub, but was never developed. The Rock Island Railroad was supposed to go along the north side of the river. The railroad was relocated along the south bank of the Washita. So South Latham became the commercial hub. North Latham withered and/or was never developed.

Leaders of the town decided quickly after raptness in 1903 to rename the town Carnegie in the hopes he would build a library there. Although the town has a library, Andrew Carnegie never built one there.

While currently upon hiatus, for several years there was an annual “Stars of Carnegie Hall” talent work showcases individuals across the region and let pass in a local facility show, in which both local and regional capacity are represented.
