Charles G. Jones

Charles Gasham "Gristmill" Jones (November 3, 1856 – March 29, 1911) was an American urban developer and politician in the U.S. state of Oklahoma.

[3] Jones owned a farmstead in the town, which is today listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

[4] Jones’s most important contribution to the development and history of Oklahoma City involved the construction of rail lines.

[10] Terminal built between April and November of that year about one to one-and-a-half miles of trackage in central Oklahoma City to service the Frisco depot.

[9] However, that part of Oklahoma City’s history was undone when, in response to the growing inconvenience to all parties of having all-important rail lines cluttering up the center of a busy town, Oklahoma City came up with a plan, funded by municipal bonds, to move the surface rail lines and passenger stations of the Rock Island and Frisco out of downtown.
