Founded in 1897 as a Trading Post, its beauty prompted it to be named the Woodland Queen of Creek Nation. Actual building of Bristow began with the coming of the St. Louis-San Francisco Railroad in July 1898. The naming of the city Bristow was after the honorable J.L. Bristow, Assistant Postmaster General. In the 1920's Bristow was an oil-boom town. From 1920 to 1942 mineral production was the most important source of new wealth in Oklahoma. |
