Westport is a town in Pawnee County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 298 at the 2010 census, a gain of 12.9 percent from 264 at the 2000 census.
The city is much newer than most towns in northeast Oklahoma. It was incorporated in the mid 1960s, after completion of Lake Keystone. Most of the residences were built between 1960 and 1979. Its first Federal census reported 146 residents in 1970. The census population peaked at 325 in 1990, then dropped to 264 in 2000, perhaps because of major damage inflicted by an F4 tornado that occurred as part of the April 26, 1991 tornado outbreak. Over 96 percent of the employed residents commuted to work in Stillwater or Tulsa.
