History

Elgin developed as the Oklahoma City and Western Railroad (OCWR) (later absorbed by the St. Louis–San Francisco Railway) constructed a line from Chickasha, Oklahoma to Lawton, Oklahoma between 1901 and 1903. A post office was established in April 1902 and named “Ceegee”, derived from Charles G. Jones, president of the OCWR and developer of the town. The railroad management objected to this name and demanded that it be changed. This was done in July 1902.
