History
Guthrie was established in 1887 as a railroad station called Deer Creek on the Southern Kansas Railway—later acquired by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway ("AT&SF")-- running from the Kansas–Oklahoma border to Purcell. The name was later changed to Guthrie, named for jurist John Guthrie of Topeka, Kansas. A post office was established on April 4, 1889.
In 1889, some 50,000 potential settlers gathered at the edges of the Unassigned Lands in hopes of staking a claim to a plot. At noon on April 22, 1889, cannons resounded at a 2,000,000-acre (810,000 ha; 8,100 km2) section of Indian Territory, launching president Benjamin Harrison's "Hoss Race" or Land Run of 1889. People ran for both farmlands and towns.
During the next six hours, about 10,000 people settled in what became the capital of the new Territory of Oklahoma. Within months, Guthrie was developed as a modern brick-and-stone "Queen of the Prairie" with municipal water, electricity, a mass-transit system, and underground parking garages for horses and carriages.
