Pauls Valley

      city, seat (1907) of Garvin county, south-central Oklahoma (Oklahoma City), U.S. The area, on the Washita River, was first settled by white North Carolinian Smith Paul, who arrived with a group of relocated Chickasaw Indians in 1837. He began to cultivate the fertile bottomland in 1857, and when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad (Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company, The) reached the settlement in 1887 it designated the area Smith Paul's Valley, later shortened to Paul's Valley. A town site was laid out in 1892, and a U.S. courthouse was built in 1895. Brick streets were installed in 1909; most streets in the city centre are made of brick today. The Santa Fe Depot was restored in the early 1990s and houses a railroad museum. The Washita Valley Museum is in Wacker Park nearby. The city is a shipping centre for locally produced alfalfa, sorghum, cotton, and corn (maize). It is also the site of the Pauls Valley State School, a boys' reformatory. Inc. 1905. Pop. (1990) 6,150; (2000) 6,256.
