St. Louis and Oklahoma City Railroad

A Frisco predecessor, the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, had built into Sapulpa in the 1885-1886 timeframe. Against that backdrop, two Oklahoma City businessmen incorporated STLOC on November 20, 1895, under the laws of the then Territory of Oklahoma, for the purpose of running a line from Sapulpa to Oklahoma City. However, they completed no actual construction by February 10, 1898, on which date they passed control of the company to the railroad's construction contractor, Indianoma Construction Company. ==References==
