HISTORY HISTORY<br />
A business man’s vision of building a city<br />
full of opportunity <strong>and</strong> new beginnings for<br />
its citizens . . B.S. Barnes<br />
uncompromising passion was the<br />
foundation of what is now known as<br />
<strong>Ponca</strong> <strong>City</strong>.<br />
Following the depression of 1892,<br />
Barnes made plans <strong>to</strong> build a new city in<br />
the recently opened Cherokee Strip. He<br />
headed south along the old trade route<br />
(now Hwy 177) <strong>and</strong> s<strong>to</strong>pped <strong>to</strong> water his<br />
horses at a fresh water spring (now 13 th<br />
<strong>and</strong> South Ave.). Close by he saw a<br />
crossing over the Arkansas River on the<br />
east, <strong>and</strong> a railroad crossing on the west<br />
<strong>and</strong> said, “This is the perfect place <strong>to</strong> build<br />
my new city!”<br />
Barnes formed the “<strong>Ponca</strong> Townsite<br />
Company,” which sold certificates for lots<br />
<strong>to</strong> individuals for business or residential<br />
occupation. On Saturday, September 16,<br />
1893, he made the L<strong>and</strong> Run <strong>and</strong> claimed<br />
the area. Then he began the surveying <strong>to</strong><br />
lay out the lots. On Sept. 21, st<strong>and</strong>ing on<br />
the south side of the block along Gr<strong>and</strong><br />
Ave. between 3 rd <strong>and</strong> 4 th <strong>Street</strong>s, he drew<br />
names from a box, matching them with the<br />
lot descriptions. The next day, the “new”<br />
citizens gathered <strong>and</strong> elected B.S. Barnes<br />
the first mayor of <strong>Ponca</strong> <strong>City</strong>.<br />
