A railroad, the Oklahoma-Southwestern Railway, was completed into town the same year.[2] By 1922, the town had an estimated population of 2500-3500.[2] However, production of oil began to decline in the latter part of 1923, and the railroad was abandoned by 1930.[2][3] So when the town appeared for the first time in the U.S. census in 1930, the population was only 422, a figure which declined until 1950 and has since fluctuated. All of its employed citizens commute to work in Bristow, Sapulpa, and Tulsa.[4]
