NW Oklahoma Black Settlement (Mid-1900)

Did you know that Northwest Oklahoma had a black settlement? The following is from one of our issues of Vol. IV, 2002 of "The OkieLegacy."

Jana Brown (email: cats@uswest.netsays), "I was born in Fairview, Oklahoma and raised in Cleo Springs, Oklahoma. I remember someone once telling me of an old town that was a black'settlement that was somewhere north and west of Cleo Springs. I believe the town existed in the early to mid-1900's. As I recall all that is really left of the town is a cemetery. Being from the area and loving history I would like to know more about this Ghost Town. Are you aware of such a town?"   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
