  • President Benjamin Harrison, Who Took Office on March 4, Issued the Proclamation on March 23, 1889, Opening the Unassigned Lands
    President Benjamin Harrison, who took office on March 4, issued the proclamation on March 23, 1889, opening the unassigned lands. It is rumored the opening on the lands would be Saturday, April 20, 1889. Being a religious man, Harrison was afraid claimants would be too tired to attend church on Sunday so the opening was reset for Monday, April 22, 1889. A cannon blast at noon and 50,000 men and single women over 21, rushed to stake a claim of up to 160 acres of land. At the beginning Norman, Guthrie, Oklahoma City and Kingfisher were to be the only four towns in the Unassigned Lands. By August there were 27 towns in the Oklahoma district with about 50,000 citizens. Congress passed the Organic Act in December, 1889, setting up a Bill of Rights, a three-part government and appointed executive and judicial officials for the seven counties formed by the Land Run. Legislative officials would be elected by the voters. The 500 plus square miles in this area became Third County. It was bordered on the west and south by the South Canadian River. The northern border was what is now SW 59th Street in Oklahoma City and the east boundary was the Pottawatomie Indian Treaty line, located near present-day 132nd Ave SE in Norman. The bounda- ries were changed in 1891. The other six counties formed by the Land Run of 1889 were Logan, Oklaho- ma, Canadian, Kingfisher, Payne and Beaver. Ten townships formed in the new county after the Run with many smaller communities and crossroads.

  • Chapter 3 the Land Run of 1889
    Chapter 3: The Land Run of 1889 Long forgotten were the promises of President Andrew Jackson that the lands given to the Indians would be theirs for "as long as the grass grows or the water runs, in peace and plenty.” Just three weeks after taking office, President Benjamin Harrison issued a proclamation proclaiming that the lands located in the heart of Indian Territory, the so-called "Oklahoma Country", would be opened to white settlement by means of a land rush. The land long coveted by the white man would now be his. And, so it was that our land would be settled by means of a run, --a chaotic, dramatic, somewhat bizarre, but arguably picturesque phenomenon the likes of which had never been seen before in our history. The Land Run, or “Harrison’s Hoss Race” as it was sometimes quaintly referred to in the vernacular, took place on a balmy, bright spring day. The alluring, lush, green Oklahoma countryside rolled sedately beneath an azure sky as if to beckon to those in search of a new life. The splendor of the day seemed to joyfully usher in the dawn of a new era. Yet ironically, it also seemed to poignantly portend the end of the Old West in Oklahoma. As the time grew near, thousands upon thousands of land-starved pioneers seethed along the borders of the Unassigned Lands waiting impatiently for the signal that would send them on their historic quest. Some over-ambitious settlers could not wait for the official opening and sought to stake their claim early by illegally slipping across the border at night.
