Seminole County is notable for the Greater Seminole Field, one of the most important oil fields ever found, which is still producing.〔Bobby D. Weaver, ("Greater Seminole Field," ) ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture'', Oklahoma Historical Society, 2009. Accessed April 5, 2015.〕 It extends into nearby counties. In the early years of the oil boom, workers and adventurers flooded into the county, rapidly tripling the population. As oil production later declined, jobs and residents left.

Seminole County has been an important part of the Oklahoma and United States petroleum industry for over 80 years. The Greater Seminole Field was one of the most important oil fields ever found and is still producing.〔 Discovered one field after another in 1926, it contained an estimated of oil.〔''Historical Dictionary of the Petroleum Industry,'' Appendix 13〕 To group the fields together, the oil companies decided to come up with a name, and this was suggested by Paul Hedrick, oil editor of the ''Tulsa World.'' Other important oil fields in the area were the Cromwell oil field, discovered in 1923, and the Maud oil field. The Maud field, discovered in 1927 by Amerada Petroleum, was the first discovery using reflection seismology.〔''Historical Dictionary of the Petroleum Industry,'' p. 40〕 This marked the beginning of the use of modern geophysical methods in the petroleum industry.
The Seminole County Courthouse was built in 1927.
