FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE OKLAHOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Oklahoma Newspaper Project WELCOME TO OKLAHOMA Oklahoma history consists of the ebb and flow of humankind from a variety of diverse cultures. During the early 19th century, no less than 64 distinct Indian tribes were removed from points around the country and resettled in Indian Territory Oklahoma. The Five Civilized Tribes once removed were drawn into the Civil War. In the latter half of the 19th century, non Indian settlement began to overtake the lands of the various tribes. With the various land openings to settlement by non Indians, Oklahoma Territory was created and Statehood occurred in 1907. The development of oil and gas industry began in earnest during the first part of the 20th century. The Depression era depleted the population of the state, but those who stayed helped build a better Oklahoma, said William Welge, Director of the Oklahoma Historical Society Archives Division. WELCOME TO THE OKLAHOMA NEWSPAPER PROJECT This was the first newspaper, per se, published in Indian Territory, It was printed in both English and Cherokee with the first issue being published on September 26, 1844, Publication was suspended several times, the first being in 1851 or 1852 due to funding; after the Civil War publication was resumed in April of 1870, again using volume 1, number 1. A fire at the plant interrupted publication 1875, from that point the Cherokee Advocate continued until 1907 when tribal political difficulties were responsible for its demise.

Operation Scissor-Tail connects the two associations with their counterparts in Louisiana and Mississippi to allow Oklahoma's public and private entities to assist victims of Katrina. Alabama officials said they received less damage and urged that Oklahoma's efforts be directed to the other two states. The program consists of two primary objectives. Building on a model of international sister city relationships, it includes Oklahoma signing sister state agreements with Louisiana and Mississippi as well as sister city pacts between Oklahoma communities and the most affected communities of those states.

Oklahoma! Home Where we are Okies, Famous and Otherwise Politics ... home Oklahoma History in a Nutshell Oklahoma, during prehistoric times, as evidenced by the fossil record, was part of the great sea that covered it, Kansas, and Texas. Thankfully, God saw fit to uplift the land. It was a close vote but He also lifted up Texas too. Early settlers of European stock came to the country claming to have discovered it. Someone needs to explain how they can have discovered it when the Native American Indians were already here. Frenchman Jean Pierre Chouteau was the first settler to make a permanent post west of the Mississippi River. He did so in Oklahoma. Before him, the Spanish conquistadores came looking for riches in the New World, which, by this time, was discovered to have the same geological age as the rest of the Earth. Cortes and Coronado are two of these explorers from Spain to reportedly travel to Oklahoma. Even before that, however, European visitors left evidence of their travels to our State by carving graffiti on our rocks. They were the Vikings. The carvings are runes. The rocks are at Heavener. The State became a State in 1907. We have been leaving our mark on the world ever since.

Still working on this one!!!! History of Paoli Settlers first came to this area in 1874. The Dulin Family was to the North and the Florence Family to the West. Both had large ranches with farms to produce feed for the cattle and horses. The Santa Fe Railroad was laid in 1887 and the Paoli Post Office was opened on June 27, 1888. By 1895, Lee McCrummen came and established large farms, ranches, and helped start a bank in Pauls Valley. The town incorporated in 1900. From 1895 to about 1906 the area was settled by Indians of Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations establishing their allotments. Many settlers came from Texas, Tennessee, and Alabama to begin their new lives in Paoli. They bought land from the Indians after 1907 statehood. It was a small flourishing town until the 1940's, when the war effort took many families away. Also new farm machinery made it possible for fewer men to farm more land. In the early days, they raised cotton, broomcorn, corn, wheat, alfalfa, sorghum grains, and peanuts. The first of many oil and gas wells in Paoli was on the Florence ranch West of Paoli in 1916. Today's Paoli farms produce is alfalfa, wheat, soybeans, corn, melons, and sweet potatoes.

HEALDTON'S PLACE IN OKLAHOMA HISTORY FIRST NAME USED BY THE TOWN OF HEALDTON The city of Healdton had its official beginning when the post office was approved on February 28, 1883. This was the first Post Office in what is now Carter County. The first name of the budding town was "Mason", named for its founder, Elisha S. Mason. The area at that time was in the Chickasaw Nation of Indian Territory and Mason established a trading post on the banks of Walnut Creek Bayou about one half mile east of the present town of Healdton. Charles H. Heald was born March 17, 1843, in Skulleyville, Indian Territory to John Hobart Heald and Lucy Wright Heald. He married Elizabeth Jane Guy, who was part Chickasaw Indian, at Elm Grove, Indian Territory, April 14, 1861. After serving in the Civil War he returned to Indian Territory where he and Eliza Jane lived for many years at Old Mill Creek. Eliza Jane died there November 26, 1887. She was buried in the cemetery on the banks of Mill Creek. In April of 1992 Eliza Jane was re-interred at Boggy Depot Historical Cemetery, one of Oklahoma's oldest and most historical burial sites. In 1888 Charles H. Heald settled at Healdton, for whom the town was later named. He married Fanny Nicholas, June 18, 1891 and they lived in the same house 24 years until his death. As one of the very early settlers in the Indian Territory Charles Hobart Heald was destined to become the leading citizen of the town now known as Healdton.

The Feral Hog in Oklahoma: History The Feral Hog in Oklahoma Russell L. Stevens History Feral hogs ( Sus scrofa ), which are wild swine from domestic ancestry, belong to the family Suidae. Actually, there are three types of wild hogs found in the United States: feral hogs, Eurasian wild boar (Russian) and hybrids between these two types. The hybrid of course is a cross between the feral hog and the Russian wild boar. Native to the Southwest U.S., the javelina is often confused with the feral hog. Javelinas are hog-like in appearance, however, they are not closely related. Photo: Dale Rollins In the United States (U.S.), California, Florida and Texas have the highest numbers of feral hogs. Some of the Hawaiian Islands have substantial populations as well, and Oklahoma's population is healthy and growing. Even though these states and many others have populations of feral hogs, they are not indigenous (native) to the United States. A hog-like animal, the javelina or collared peccary (
