On April 22, 1889, the federal government opened the unassigned
lands in central Oklahoma for settlement. Entrepreneurs, cattlemen,
and farmers, all seeking new opportunities, anxiously staked their
claim to town lots and 160-acre homesteads. From their tents on
Norman's Main Street, businessmen started to sell their wares.
Tents soon gave way to wooden shacks and, finally, two-story brick
buildings. By the beginning of the 20th century, Norman was a
bustling frontier town that quickly matured into a trade center, a
county seat, and a university town. In the 1940s, Norman became the
home of the Naval Air Technical Training Center, a naval base
constructed to train navy pilots and ground support crews for World
War II.
