History

Slaughterville was named after a grocery store run by James Slaughter in the early 20th century.

The site was located in the Unassigned Lands of Indian Territory. It was opened to settlement in the Land Run of 1889. The first building was erected in the same year. The town did not incorporate until 1970, to avoid annexation by either Norman, Noble, or Lexington.

Slaughterville encompassed 27 square miles (70 km) at incorporation. It deannexed about 40 percent of the area during the 1980s, but later annexed more land and by 2000 had an area of 38.108 square miles (98.70 km).

The town name was the subject of controversy in 2004 when People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) asked Slaughterville to rename the town to Veggieville, offering a donation of $20,000 of veggie burgers as incentive. Slaughterville’s town council heard presentations by members of PETA and local citizens before voting against the suggestion.
