| Significant City History |
|
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway planned Norman as a station site in Indian Territory in 1886-87, taking the name Normans Camp, a phrase that (the story goes) had been carved in a nearby tree 16 years earlier by the crew of a U.S. Land Office surveyor, Abner E. Norman, who camped nearby while mapping the area.
The town itself, while platted by the railroad, wasn't settled until the Great Land Run of 1889
Norman is a global center for the sciences of meteorology and geology and related research fields.
