Our logo echoes the street plan of Norman and hundreds of other Western settlements. The oldest part of the town is a grid oriented to the former Santa Fe railway, which followed a northwest-southeast alignment through Oklahoma's Unassigned Lands in the 1870s. White settlement began with the famous land run of 1889, and the original townsite was soon supplemented by additions that were gridded but cardinally oriented to conform to the section lines of the public-land survey. We're located about two blocks south of the original, diamond-shaped grid, so the railroad (now the BNSF) passes only about a hundred yards to our east. A single track, it's still busy, mostly with trains ferrying grain and motor vehicles to Texas. Mostly isn't everything, however, and in 1999, after a 20-year hiatus, daily passenger service was restored to Fort Worth and points beyond.
