This Oklahoma Historical Marker is on the south side of Highway 51, just east of the Cimarron River, in far northwest Kingfisher County. There is a very large pull out here, with room for several cars. The text on the pink granite marker is
RUN OF '89
WEST BOUNDARY
At the opening of "Old Oklahoma," April 22, 1889, this was the west line for the run starting at noon. Homesteaders quickly occupied the 2,000,000 acres of the unassigned land and by nightfall thousands of homes had been established and tent cities covered the prairies.
