WesTen History

Historically the area now known as WesTen is the home to Council Grove, a timber reserve of cottonwood, elm and oaks and Native American refuge. In the early 1900s it was a major corridor from downtown Oklahoma City to Yukon. The history of WesTen is from at least as early as the 1940’s where, anecdotally, there was a contest in The Daily Oklahoman to name the theater originally in the 3900 block of NW 10^th and in the “district”. Whether this story is actual truth or not is yet to be determined, but in 2015 the community group known as Friends of NW 10^th Street, founded in 2008, adopted the original name of the business district—WesTen.
