  • 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.

  • MEDFORD, OKLAHOMA, 1919-1940 by DEBRA DOWNING Bachelor of Arts Southern Nazarene
    AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS: MEDFORD, OKLAHOMA, 1919-1940 By DEBRA DOWNING Bachelor of Arts Southern Nazarene University Bethany, Oklahoma 1995 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1997 AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS: MEDFORD, OKLAHOMA, 1919-1940 Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii PREFACE The history of a small farming community such as Medford, Oklahoma, is significant to western history for a number of reasons. Medford developed as a typical southern plains town, experiencing boom and bust cycles, and growth and decline. Market, weather, and population patterns affected the prosperity of the town, and as such are good examples of how these phenomena affected a rural, agricultural community in the Southern Plains. Land hungry pioneers established Medford during the Cherokee Strip land rush of 1893. This land rush opened additional Indian lands to white settlement. Overnight the prairie became towns and farms as thousands of eager and optimistic souls sought their future on free lands. Most of these people either had a farming background or aimed to acquire one. The land was only marginally suitable for agriculture during some years, and in fact the United States government had sent explorers into the region early in the nineteenth century, and these men had labeled the region the Great American Desert. Medford residents would learn just what this label meant as they plowed iii up the ground and sought to feed their families and build homes. An agricultural boom occurred in the United States during World War I, as the demand for food to support the war effort, and the mechanization of agriculture, prompted what some have called the great plow-up.
