Morrison, Oklahoma

Morrison is a town in southeastern Noble County, Oklahoma, United States.

The Outlet was opened to non-Indian settlement by the Cherokee Strip Land Run in September 1893.

[5] The Morrison community emerged in 1894 on land that was once the Osage tribe's hunting grounds.

Morrison donated 40 acres (16 ha) for a town, which was surveyed and platted in August 1894.

[4] The Morrison business district moved a short distance south in 1902, when the Arkansas Valley and Western Railroad (after 1907 a part of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway system, or Frisco,) surveyed its Tulsa-Pawnee-Perry-Enid line.

With railroad access, Morrison became an agricultural center, serving ranchers and wheat farmers.

[4] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.6 square miles (1.6 km2), all land.

Out of the total population, 17.6% of those under the age of 18 and 3.7% of those 65 and older were living below the poverty line.
