Historical Significance
The history of Owen Park can be traced back to early Indian Territory days. In 1825, preparing for the Five Civilized Tribes coming from the Trail of Tears to the Indian Territory of what would be Oklahoma, the US Government made a treaty with the Osage Indians. The Osage conceded lands for the use of the Cherokee and Creek Tribes. Near Owen Park is the place where these 3 tribes joined together in land boundary.
