"Ardmore's first residents were not land owners, but renters, who paid (or were supposed to pay) members of the Chickasaw tribe for the privilege of occupying space in their nation. Many of these first men in the region circumvented this ordinance by marrying a woman of the tribe and becoming a Chickasaw by intermarriage. The area encompassing the site of the future town of Ardmore was designated as Pickens County Chickasaw Nation and created as a consequence of the Pontotock Treaty of October 20, 1832, in which the Chickasaw Nation ceded its lands east of the Mississippi River to the United States in return for 'suitable location' in the West. In July 1887, Jim Staples plowed a furrow down the Prairie for a quarter of a mile West of the Santa Fe railroad tracks and called it Main Street. With that mundane action, the town we know as Ardmore was born. This name, Ardmore was chosen by an investor in the new railroad line running north and south through the town. A native of Philadelphia, he duplicated the name of a stop on the main line, not realizing its inappropriateness in this instance. The Philadelphia designation originated in Ireland and translated to 'high place' in the Gaelic language, while its Oklahoma namesake struggles to reach an altitude of 760 feet above sea level. [From the Prologue] " Sally M Gray is a longtime resident of Ardmore with a background in newspaper work and history publications. The contents of this book are her historical gatherings and personal remembrances of the city she calls her hometown and the people who made it different." [From the dust jacket] Most all you would like to know about Ardmore, OK in a well-told story and handsomely illustrated with numerous photographs.
