    BUDGETBUDGET THE CITY OF NORMAN, OKLAHOMA FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2011 FINANCIAL PLAN—FISCAL YEAR-END 2011-2015 ON THE COVER – “RURAL NORMAN, OKLAHOMA” Norman, Oklahoma is one of the thirty largest cities in the United States in land area, encompassing over 190 square miles within its city limits. In recent years, Nor- man has taken many strategic actions to preserve its open spaces and to protect its natural environment. Some of these actions have included the acceptance of formal Greenway, Bike Path and Stormwater Master Plans, the appointment of a Tree Board, the adoption of new Floodway and Floodplain Ordinances, and becoming the first city in Oklahoma to adopt the U.S. Conference of Mayor’s Climate Protection Agreement. CITY OF NORMAN History of Norman, Oklahoma In 1870, the United States Land Office contracted with a professional engineer to survey much of Oklahoma territory. Abner E. Norman, a young surveyor, became chairman and leader of the central survey area in Indian Territory. The surveyor’s crew burned the words “NORMAN’S CAMP” into an elm tree near a watering hole to taunt their younger supervisor. When the “SOONERS” (those who headed west before the official Land Run date, April 22, 1889) and the other settlers arrived in the heart of Oklahoma, they kept the name “NORMAN.” Today, with an estimated 114,495 residents, Norman is the third largest city in the State of Oklahoma. Norman was primarily developed around the Santa Fe Railroad. Home to a passenger depot as well as a freight station, Norman became the headquarters for the railway.
