About Wynnewood, OK

Wynnewood quickly became a market town for the surrounding area. In 1887, Presbyterian missionary Mary Semple Hotchkins moved her school for Chickasaw children from Cherokee Town [a] to Wynnewood. In 1901, local citizens paid for building Indianola College. [b] A promotional brochure published in 1907 called Wynnewood "the Queen City of the Famous Washita Valley." It could soon boast of having an opera house, electric lights, telephones, and the thirty-room Eskridge Hotel. The Eskridge Hotel continued in business until 1970, when it closed for good.
