Talk:El Reno, Oklahoma

message: After the 1889 landrun, there were three entities the local postmaster had to keep separate; Fort Reno, Reno City, and the community township or Village of (El) Reno. The Village of El Reno originated shortly after the 1889 land run, with the post office coming into being in June of that year. The town's name was partially taken from the nearby military post of Fort Reno, the "el" being added (by the local postmaster meaning "the" in spanish) to help differentiate the community from the also-new Reno City. Reno City was located on the north-side of the Canadian River five miles northeast of (The Village of) El Reno. The Village of El Reno was located on the south-side of the Canadian river.  The original village townsite was platted by the Oklahoma Homestead and Town Company on 120 acres of the homestead of John Foreman. In 1890, Foreman's 120 acres along with 80 acres of Thomas Jensen's, were incorporated into the Village of El Reno. When the railroad company announced their rail lines were going to be ran on the south side of the Canadian river, Reno City relocated to the township of El Reno. The original Reno City site north of the river was abandoned. What remained and continues to this day is Fort Reno and the city of El Reno. Taken in part from the Oklahoma Historical Society and the 1900's El Reno Democrat newspaper.  Pcompton40 (talk) 17:12, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

message: I have a book called City Beginnings in Oklahoma Territory by the University of Oklahoma Press that says Reno City, El Reno and Frisco were three townsites that existed simultaneously. Might be worth looking into as it seems there is a discrepancy between there explanation and what is listed in the early history.

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :El Reno, Oklahoma's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
