National Register of Historic Places

Edmond, Oklahoma County

Edmond is a city that proudly boasts a rich and colorful past, evidenced through the historic sites that have been preserved to this day. Our city was built by cattle drives, a train station, and settled through an energetic land run. Appreciation of this heritage is readily seen by the numerous historic buildings and plaques exhibited on those buildings dispersed throughout the community. Much of this information has been provided courtesy of the Edmond History Museum and the Edmond Historic Preservation Trust.
