History of ClevelandESTABLISHMENT OF CLEVELANDWithin minutes of the noon-time gunshots, starting the settlement of the Cherokee Outlet on September 16, 1893, tent cities emerged throughout the “strip.” The settlement of Cleveland was no different. As a “rag city” it came into being, in short order, in a cornfield on the banks of the Arkansas River about 15 miles northwest of what is now the Keystone Dam at the confluence of the Arkansas and Cimarron Rivers. The tent dwellers were greeted by Colonel J.W. Jordan, a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, who held a commission as special agent for the Cherokee Nation, as well as being a deputy U.S. Marshal and a scout under the U.S. War Department. Up to the opening of the Strip, the region had few houses. Dave Hendrix had a log cabin on the grounds where Cleveland now stands. The cabin was later converted into a hotel standing on the Northwest corner of Broadway and Cherokee streets in Cleveland. In addition to Jordan, his two sons and Hendrix, there were others who held allotments in the valley where Cleveland is located. Colonel Jordan, as well as seventy other families received an 80-acre allotment by paying $112 for the allotment. Jordan later bought Hendrix’s 80 acres for $1,200.
LAYING OUT THE TOWNSHIP OF CLEVELAND
It is interesting to note that the town was plotted with its center located at a point approximately at 120 South Broadway. Supposedly, water poured at the point would run in all four major directions.
TROUBLE ESTABLISHING THE CLEVELAND TOWNSHIP
T.J. Mann was the general postmaster of Herbert in 1894. At that time the Herbert post office was claimed to be “only 100 feet from the city of Cleveland, consequently to inconvenience.” In the meantime, meetings were held by the township company, and the name “Cleveland” was chosen for the new town, so named after the then current President of the United States, Grover Cleveland. Prior to that, for a short time, the town had been called “Dixie” with some residents of Cleveland receiving their mail addressed to Dixie.
CLEVELAND CITIZENS BEGIN VOTING
Officials chosen in the first city election included George Edward, as Mayor; J.G. Price as Justice of the Peace, Joe Box as Town Marshall, Harvey Lester as Town Clerk, C.A. Soderstrom as City Treasurer, J.C. Henderson as Trustee of the First Ward, Charles Nash as Trustee of the Second Ward, O.A. Gilbert as Trustee of the Third Ward, T.L. Rouse as Trustee of the Fourth Ward and E.W. Crain as Trustee of the Fifth Ward. Election Inspectors were J.C Byers, E.N. Shirley and B.W. Morphis. O.A. Bilbert, as notary public, signed the first election document of the city of Cleveland.
