Discover Norman
Treaties of 1832 and 1833 assigned the land that is now Norman to the Creek Nation, one of the Five Tribes the United States moved to Oklahoma. Accused of aiding the Confederacy, the Creek ceded the area back to the United States in 1866. In the early 1870s the government surveyed these Unassigned Lands, and Abner Ernest Norman, a 23-year-old surveyor from Kentucky, oversaw part of the work. His crew camped near today's Classen Boulevard and Lindsey Street and, perhaps as a joke, carved "Norman's Camp" on an elm tree in honor of their young boss. The Santa Fe Railway began service in 1887, and the settlers who came later kept the name.
More about Norman
Norman was founded in the Land Run of April 22, 1889. At least 150 people spent the first night in makeshift camps, and by the next morning a downtown was already going up. Two businessmen, Delbert Larsh, a former railroad freight agent at Purcell, and Thomas Waggoner, a railroad cashier, set out to win the territory's first university for Norman, reasoning that it would be easier than winning the hotly contested capital. On December 19, 1890, Territorial Council Bill 114 established the University of Oklahoma in Norman, about 17 years before statehood. The City of Norman was incorporated on May 13, 1891.
