The small town had replaced the old campsites with permanent structures and renamed Tishomingo by 1856. It was designated as the Chickasaw capital in 1856. A post office was established in 1857.〔 The Chickasaw capitol building was built in 1897 from local red granite and officially dedicated in 1898. It housed the tribal governor, the bicameral legislature and other government officials and clerks. The territorial court also met there from time to time. The territorial government was dissolved at statehood. In 1910, the building was sold to Johnston County, becoming the county court house.〔 The Western Oklahoma Railroad was built from Haileyville to Ardmore via Tishomingo in 1902, and bought by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway in the same year. It was abandoned in 1938.〔 Tishomingo is home of the Texhoma Oil and Refining Company, established in the 1920s by the industrialist Joseph A. Kemp of Wichita Falls, Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brian Hart, "Joseph Alexander Kemp" )〕 Tishomingo Cemetery dates back to at least 1832. Notables buried there include two former Oklahoma governors William H. Murray and Johnston Murray and Chickasaw Nation governors Douglas H. Johnson and Robert M. Harris.〔 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「Tishomingo, Oklahoma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
