The Cherokee Strip Museum website says, "Perry was generally considered to be the "queen city of the Cherokee Strip" after the great land rush of 1893 which opened a choice area of the future state of Oklahoma to non-Indian settlers. The event attracted nation-wide interest. It lured to this area a marvelous mixture of humanity. Some were adventurous and recklessly daring; some were professional people and entrepreneurs looking for a new start; some were just hungry for a piece of land to call their own."

The Perry postcard set shows North, East South side of square, courthouse & jail, Central park, high school, first national bank, Planters hotel, US Post office, cotton Industry, band stand, Carnegie Library, Presbyterian church, and the Perry Mill.
