City Beginnings in Oklahoma Territory
John Alley, 1939, University
of Oklahoma Press, Norman, OK
Quoting from the preface:
The pages which follow
deal only with city beginnings in the area which became Oklahoma Territory
by virtue of the Organic Act of May 2, 1890. This area lies in the
central portion of the state of Oklahoma and comprises only six of the
present seventy-seven counties of the state. In fact, three of these
six counties are somewhat larger now than they were in 1890, through portions
of land added to them from areas opened to white settlement from time to
time after 1889, which areas likewise were incorporated into the original
Oklahoma Territory of 1890.
