Founding Date of Tulsa County

edit

When was the county first formed? Several different years are indicated by various sources, ranging from about 1850 to 1905.

The county was formed at the time of Oklahoma statehood, November 16, 1907. Earlier maps of Indian Territory, including the map for the proposed State of Sequoyah, do not show such an entity. At that time, the present county lay partly in the Cherokee Nation and the Creek Nation. Bruin2 (talk) 20:03, 26 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

I find this a bit confusing

edit

"In 1910, Tulsa County built a court house in Tulsa on the northeast corner of Sixth Street and South Boulder Avenue. The land had previously been the site of a mansion owned by George Perryman and his wife. Yule marble was used in its construction."

Which is to say, was the courthouse or the mansion built of Yule marble? Any takers? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 16:26, 23 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
The court house was built with Yule marble. I have moved the sentence about Yule marble to make this more clear. Thanks for your catching this.Bruin2 (talk) 16:16, 24 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks B2. That was how I had figured it, but over a life time of figuring things wrong I no longer am as quick with my assumptions as I used to be. Carptrash (talk) 16:43, 24 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
