The Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) has a long history of bringing communities together to solve the common issues facing the residents of Central Oklahoma. ACOG was created in June 1966 by local governments under authority provided by the State to lead regional collaboration in Central Oklahoma. ACOG was established to aid local governments in planning for common needs, cooperating for mutual benefit, coordinating for sound regional development, and to serve as a clearinghouse for state and federal funds.
