Although part of the Chickasaw Nation; virgin soil lured pioneers into Indian Territory; and by 1900; intruders outnumbered Native Americans 10 to 1; building communities throughout Native American lands. In 1887; on a grassy prairie where buffalo had roamed; men gathered where the Santa Fe Railroad planned to build a station. By 1898; Ardmore was a thriving city with businesses; churches; electricity; and telephones. Under a new federal law in late 1898; Ardmore became an incorporated city. Several disasters including a massive explosion and two major fires almost destroyed the town; but the people who built Ardmore came from sturdy stock. After each disaster; they rebuilt; and Ardmore continued to prosper.
