Sperry, Oklahoma

Sperry is a town in Tulsa County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 807 in the 2010 U. S. census, compared to 196 at the 2000 census.〔(CensusViewer: Population of the City of Sperry, Oklahoma )〕 It is primarily a bedroom community, since about 85 percent of the employed residents commute to work in Tulsa and other nearby towns. Sperry also has an active retirement community.〔( Dianna Everett, "Sperry," ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture''. ) Retrieved February 17, 2013.〕
==History==
Sperry began as a post office in the Cherokee Nation that was established May 17, 1902 to serve a rural community between Hominy and Delaware Creeks. The origin of the name is not clear. One source claims that the name was derived from the surname of a local landowner named Henry Spybuck.〔( Tulsa County Historic Sites July 1982: Prepared by the Community Planning Division Indian Nations Council of Governments for the Tulsa County Historical Society. ) Retrieved October 18, 2013.〕 The Midland Valley Railroad built a line from Arkansas to Eastern Kansas that reached Sperry in March 1905. Exploration for oil brought prosperity between 1905 and 1910. Sperry incorporated in 1920, when the census recorded a population of 487.〔
Two communities joined to form present-day Sperry. One was previously known as "Buehler Switch." This was the larger community, the location of the railroad and depot, and centered around 96th Street North and S. H. 11. The smaller community, consisting of only two or three homes and a general store/post office housed in the same building, was actually known as Sperry. It was on Hominy Creek near 106th Street North and North Peoria. When statehood occurred in 1907, the post office was renamed Sperry and was moved from the general store to a new grocery store near the depot. Sperry remained unincorporated until 1917.〔
