What's Happening...

Britton certainly did lose its identity when the town's people voted yes to Oklahoma City's annexation. As nearly as I can determine, this occurred about 1954 or 1955, maybe a year or two earlier. I was two or three at the time, living with my parents on Ridgeview Drive in the Village. I remember my father telling me how Britton had once been a separate small town out in "the country," with a population of 6,000. By the time I was in high school, at the original John Marshall (1969-1971), which was on the edge of Britton and Nichols Hills, the population of Britton consisted mostly of elderly white folks and some of my classmates were children of the younger adults of Britton. Of course, today, the entire character and make up of the area has changed entirely.
