Oklahoma was incorporated into statehood on November 16, 1907. A lot has happened since then some good, some not so good. There's a lot of interesting stories to look at and lots of interesting stuff to read about.
Lawton is Oklahoma's third largest city. it came into existence as the result of a land lottery. The city is home to one of America's greatest military installations, Ft. Sill. The Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge is also within driving distance. There's lots of Buffalo out there.
So much to find out about this great state of Oklahoma. I invite everyone to take a look at this thread to find out more.
BTW, it was August 6th 1901 when Lawton came into existence.
And, the city that our G.P.S. went crazy in this past September. It kept telling us to make turns that were so wrong. And, then I saw this wonderful antique table in a yard for sale. A young Army couple was being transfered, and just wanted to get rid of it. I love Lawton, because I love my table.
