The History of Stillwater, Oklahoma
Stillwater has
deep roots in Oklahoma’s history. It started as part of the Unassigned Lands,
opening to settlers during the Land Run of 1889. Before that, Native American
tribes, especially the Osage and Pawnee, lived in the area. The town grew
quickly, and by the early 1900s, it became home to Oklahoma Agricultural and
Mechanical College, which later became Oklahoma State University. The
university played a huge role in shaping Stillwater into the town it is today.
Over the years, the city expanded beyond farming, welcoming businesses and
industries tied to education and research. While it’s still a small-town
community at heart, it has a rich past filled with stories of resilience and
change. Walking through town, you’ll see how history and progress blend into
everyday life.
Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, OK
Game day at Boone
Pickens Stadium is something you won’t forget. The energy is loud, the sea of
orange is everywhere, and the crowd is all in for Oklahoma State football.
Located right in the heart of campus, the stadium has been through major
renovations over the years, turning it into one of the most impressive college
football venues around. Whether you’re a student, alumni, or just a fan, it’s
hard not to get caught up in the excitement. Tailgating starts early, and the
atmosphere only builds as kickoff gets closer. The stadium holds over 55,000
people, and when it’s full, you can feel the place shake. Win or lose, it’s an
experience that brings the Stillwater community together. There’s nothing quite
like Cowboy football under the stadium lights.
School Board Members Invite Input From Stillwater In Search For New Superintendent
It’s good to see the Stillwater Board of Education actively seeking community input in the superintendent search. A school district affects everyone—students, teachers, parents, and even local businesses—so it makes sense to let people share their thoughts on what kind of leader they want. An online survey is a convenient way to gather feedback, but the real question is whether that input will actually influence the decision. It’s one thing to ask for opinions; it’s another to truly consider them. Hopefully, the Board listens and picks someone who understands both education and the unique needs of Stillwater. With OSSBA involved, there’s a solid process in place, but leadership is about more than just qualifications. The right superintendent should be someone who connects with the community and is ready to push the district forward.
