History

The region where Spencer was developed was opened to settlement in the Land Run of 1889. Louis F. and Henry W. Kramer, businessmen originally from Spencer County, Indiana, first arrived in Guthrie in 1889 and then moved to Oklahoma City.

Originally an agricultural area, Spencer grew after World War II with the nearby General Motors Assembly Plant and Tinker Air Force Base offering employment.

On January 20, 1982, seven children were killed by the explosion of a water heater in the cafeteria of the city’s Star Elementary School.

CPT Riley L. Pitts, the first black commissioned officer to receive the Medal of Honor, is buried in Spencer’s Hillcrest Memory Gardens. Captain Pitts was a graduate of Wichita University (now Wichita State University.)
