Home Our History Local Info Entertainment ... Education Claremore Oklahoma Historical Information Claremore is best known as the home of Will Rogers but its a bit more than that. In around 1800, a band of Indians of the Osage tribe settled in the area of what is now Claremore Oklahoma. The entire area did receive some damage during the Civil War years, but made a rapid recovery once the war was ended. They gave the town its name, from the name of oneo f their Chiefs, whose name was Gra moi. The traders in the area, who spoke primarily French, pronounced the name Clairmont, which meant "mountain with clear view". In 1830, the Indian Removal act was passed by the US, and Claremore was then integrated as part of the Indian Territory, and the Cherokee Nation. The Rogers family, after whom the county is named, were among the first to settle in the area. Clem Rogers, father of famed statesman Will Rogers,moved to the area, and along with his family, is buried at the Will Rogers Memorial.

Home About Us Prayer Requests Carmelite Saints ... Villa Teresa Shop Mission to the Immigrants: Establishment of the Order of Discalced Carmelites in Oklahoma By: Michael M. Smith; October 1981 1927 Souvenir Booklet The revolution which ousted Diaz in 1910, however, initiated another period of unbridled violence, xenophobia, and anti-clericalism. Throughout Mexico, revolutionaries desecrated churches, killed clergymen and nuns, and destroyed monasteries and convents. Once again the Carmelites were forced to flee the country or go into hiding. Throughout the violent stage of revolution, many Carmelites in Mexico returned to Spain, fled to Cuba, or sought safety in the United States. For the first four years of the conflict, the Discalced Carmelites in Torreon, Coahuila, had escaped the violence which rent other areas of the republic, and during the week before Easter, 1914, they quietly prepared for the forthcoming Holy Week solemnities. Four Spanish priests from the Province of Aragon-Valencia staffed the mission and church. The small community included Fr. Cirilio Corbat, the superior; Fr. Luis Benages; Fr. Bernardo Broton; and Fr. Domingo Pitarch, who was in Mexico City at the time. Thus, on April 8, 1914, the three Carmelites entered the United States. They had little money and no friends in this country. They did not speak English and had no idea where they would stay. Initially, they did not intend to remain permanently in the United States; they sought only a temporary refuge until they could go on to Spain or perhaps return to Mexico. They spent their first night in El Paso in a hotel, thereby depleting their financial resources. The next day, the Jesuits who had charge of the Church of the Virgin of Guadalupe took them into their house. Hoping to find a place to stay with members of their own order, the three Carmelites decided to go to Chicago, where, they had heard, the Discalced Carmelites had established a house. The Jesuits arranged for their transportation by train, and on April 11 they departed for Chicago.

Oklahoma's History Although one of the youngest states in the nation, Oklahoma is a land that reaches far back in time. Oklahoma's recorded history began in 1541 when Spanish explorer Coronado ventured through the area on his quest for the "Lost City of Gold." The land that would eventually be known as Oklahoma was part of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase Beginning in the 1820s, the Five Civilized Tribes from the southeastern United States were relocated to Indian Territory over numerous routes, the most famous being the Cherokee "Trail of Tears." "Boomers," who wanted the rich lands opened to non-Indian settlement. The government decided to open the western parts of the territory to settlers by holding a total of six land runs between 1889 and 1895. Settlers came from across the nation and even other countries like Poland, Germany, Ireland and Slavic nations to stake their claims. And African-Americans, some who were former slaves of Indians, took part in the runs or accepted their allotments as tribal members. In the years that followed, black pioneers founded and settled entire communities in or near Arcadia, Boley, Langston and Taft. On November 16, 1907, Oklahoma became the 46th state

Their tragic removal is known as the Trail of Tears. They settled on the hills and little prairies of the eastern section and built separate organized states and communities. The Cherokee particularly had a highly Europeanized culture, with a written language, invented by their great leader Sequoyah, and highly developed institutions. Some of the Cherokee were slaveholders and ran their agricultural properties in the traditional Southern plantation pattern; others were small farmers. The Five Civilized Tribes clashed briefly with the Plains Indians, particularly the Osage, but they were for a time free from white interference, and they were able to establish a civilization that strongly affected the whole history of the region.

Later the area would be named Indian Territory . The goal was to provide ample lands for the relocation of Native Americans in the eastern states who did not wish to assimilate. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 gave President Andrew Jackson the power to negotiate treaties for removal with Indian tribes living east of the Mississippi River. The treaty called for the Indians to give up their eastern land for land in the west. Those who wished to stay behind were allowed to stay, assimilate and become citizens in their state. For the tribes that agreed to Jackson's terms, the removal was peaceful; however, those who resisted were eventually forced to leave.

The state was formed from Indian Territory, Oklahoma Territory and No-Mans Land. What is now the eastern part of Oklahoma was Indian Territory. The western part was Oklahoma Territory. The Panhandle was No-Mans Land. Oklahoma is known as "Native America" and the "Sooner State". All but No-Mans Land, now the Panhandle of Oklahoma, was acquired in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. No-Mans Land was acquired via U.S. land acquisitions following the Mexican-American War, and was originally part of Texas. In 1850 Texas relinquished claim to that territory in compromising over the slavery question. At that point this strip of land was merely public land. People tried to settle, there was no way for the settlers to claim the land upon which they lived, no way to make marriages legal in the territory, no laws to govern tax foreclosures, the organization of corporations, etc. The lawlessness of pre-statehood.
