History
8
Founded in 1891, Miami, Oklahoma, grew through labor, optimism, and development. Its name and place came from Indians, whose proud, enduring heritage remained part of its identity. Agriculture, through crops and cattle, nourished the community in its infancy and assured its maturity. Courageous miners gouged the earth and gave it importance, while industry shaped its present and its promise for the future. Route 66, Grand Lake, and N.E.O. A&M College were also part of its character.
