The population was 1,430 as of the 2020 United States census. Carnegie was named after the famous Scottish American industrialist and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie. The initial name of the town was Latham. The town was originally platted as North and South Latham, with North Latham being north of the Washita River, and South Latham being south of it. North Latham was intended to be the commercial hub, with the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway expected to go along the north side of the river. However, the tracks ended up running along the south bank of the Washita, so South Latham became the commercial hub and North Latham withered and/or was never developed.
