History

On September 13 and 14, 1878, the Battle of Turkey Springs was fought approximately ten miles northeast of present-day Freedom. It was the last known encounter between the United States Cavalry and American Indians in Oklahoma.

In the late 1800s, following the Cherokee Strip Land Run, farmers and ranchers began a small settlement in the area. This 1893 land run, combined with the building of the Buffalo and Northwestern Railroad in 1919–20, incentivized many settlers to homestead 160-acre tracts in the area. The community of Freedom – so-named by the postal service – was granted a post office in 1901, with Mrs. Adlah Annis serving as its first postmaster. However, it wouldn’t be until 1925 that Freedom was officially incorporated, with a population of 251.

The community of Freedom is known as the smallest certified city (as opposed to a town) in the state of Oklahoma.
