THE BACK STORY Edmond began as a crucial stop along the railway at the Summit train station in 1887. It turned into a township during the April 22, 1889, Land Run. Edmond is home to the first public schoolhouse, the 1889 Territorial School, and one of the first public institutions

of higher education in Oklahoma Territory, the Territorial Normal School, now the University of Central Oklahoma. The preservation of Edmond’s history can be found across our city through public art, WPA projects and at the Edmond History Museum.

She told her mom that she wanted to get engaged at the Blue Hippo. Anna Beth’s dream came true on August 13 on her two-year dating anniversary with her boyfriend, Dillon. When she opened the ring box in front of the Blue Hippo she said yes!
