Guthrie served as the capital of Oklahoma Territory from 1890 until 1907 and of the state of Oklahoma from 1907 until 1910. ==History== Logan County was created as County One by the Organic Act of 1890. The town of Guthrie was designated as the county seat and the capital of Oklahoma Territory. The county was named on August 5, 1890 for U. S. Senator, John A. Logan, of Illinois.〔(Linda D. Wilson, "Logan County," ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture'' ). Accessed April 4, 2015.〕〔("Origin of County Names in Oklahoma." ''Chronicles of Oklahoma''. v. 2, N, 1. March 1924 ) .Retrieved May 26, 2013.〕 The land in what became Logan County had been settled by the Creek and Seminole tribes during the 1820s and 1830s. However, these tribes had supported the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. Through the Reconstruction Treaties of 1866, they lost part of their lands in Oklahoma, which were designated as Unassigned Lands. These lands were opened to non-Indian settlement on April 22, 1889. The three easternmost townships were added to the county in 1891, after the Sac and Fox lands were opened to non-Indian settlement.〔 Before 1889, the Kansas Southern Railway (later the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway) had built a line from the Kansas-Oklahoma border to Purcell in Indian Territory. Stations built in the present Logan County were Beaver Creek (now Mulhall, Oklahoma) and Deer Creek (now Guthrie). After the land run, Guthrie developed into a center of trade. The Denver, Enid and Gulf Railroad (later the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe) ran from Guthrie to Enid, Oklahoma. The Choctaw, Oklahoma and Western Railroad (later the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway) ran between Guthrie and Chandler, Oklahoma, while the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad ran east from Guthrie to Fallis, Oklahoma. From 1916 to 1944, the Oklahoma Railway Company interurban line ran between Guthrie and Oklahoma City.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Logan County, Oklahoma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
