During this segment we've learned about towns named after people, places, even a type of door lock. News 9's Randy Renner travels to one of the far corners of Oklahoma to tell us about a town named simply for the land it was built on. The drought that has scorched our part of the state hasn't claimed northeast Oklahoma yet. The native grasses grow tall and the wildflowers bloom.
Hay fields are still green and the bales bountiful up here near the Kansas and Missouri borders.
It's part of what attracted folks here in the first place more than 110 years ago. When the first settlers built their homes and their farms one thing they noticed about this new place was the quality of the land. A pretty fair land. And now, more than a century later, nothing about that has changed. Not the land, not the people and certainly no the wildflowers.
