Edmond, OK
The City of Edmond, Oklahoma is named after Edmond Burdick, a freight agent, and began humbly in the Unassigned Lands as a railroad coal and watering stop at mile marker 103. It was called Edmond Station in 1887 and has come a long way since then.
With the opening of the Unassigned Lands on April 22, 1889, Edmond got its start as a town and grew. As part of that growth, what was known as the Territorial Normal School in 1891 eventually became the University of Central Oklahoma, UCO. Both the City and Central continue to grow today as partners to make Edmond a great place for our residents to live, grow, work and play.
