Oklahoma Lane, TX

The Oklahoma Lane community began in January 1916, when Ed McGuire, John Scribner, T. Hooser, and the brothers Jim and Joe Johnson each purchased choice acreage from the Capitol Syndicate and brought in their families from their native Oklahoma. In 1917 two rural schools, Sunnyside and Knox were established in the vicinity. In 1921 the two schools were consolidated as the Oklahoma Lane district.
