The establishment of what became Oklahoma's capital city was unique among the states, as it emerged into existence on a single day, April 22, 1889. Throughout the decades that have followed, the heart of Oklahoma City has experienced building and expansion, urban renewal, and improvements made through the Metropolitan Area Projects Program. Senior archivist Rachel E. Mosman and history author Steve Lackmeyer team up to present an illustrated history of the development of central Oklahoma City from its founding to the present day."--Publisher's description.
