COMMUNITY BACKSTORY
Modern Oklahoma City was settled as part of the famous 1889 “Land Run.” By the time Oklahoma became a state, Oklahoma City had developed into a commercial center and major stop on Route 66. Like many cities, OKC saw post-war growth followed by an urban decline in the 1970s-80s. Luckily, redevelopment projects in the 1990s and 2000s revived the city and have since attracted an influx of families and young professionals looking for jobs and affordable Oklahoma real estate.
