"They call this place the town of Stillwater" was the first recorded reference to a non-Indian settlement in the "Unassigned Lands" of what was to become Oklahoma.

It was part of a cavalry officer's report after an encounter with the "Boomer" settlement on Christmas Eve, 1884. That's why it is often said Stillwater is "Where Oklahoma Began."

Stillwater was the northern edge of the first land run into Oklahoma in 1889. The northern edge of Stillwater borders the "Cherokee Strip" area which was opened to settlement in the land run of 1893.
