Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Guthrie, OK

Guthrie is the county seat of Logan County, Oklahoma, about 32 miles north of Oklahoma City on U.S. Highway 77.

Guthrie began in 1887 as a Santa Fe railroad station called Deer Creek, but it was born as a city in a single day: when the Land Run of April 22, 1889 opened the Unassigned Lands, roughly 10,000 settlers arrived within hours and raised a tent city on the site.

Guthrie served as the capital of Oklahoma Territory from 1890 to 1907, with George W. Steele appointed as the first territorial governor.

When Oklahoma became a state in 1907, Guthrie became its first state capital, a title it held until voters chose to move the capital to Oklahoma City in a special election on June 11, 1910.

Oklahoma's first state governor, Charles N. Haskell, was inaugurated in 1907 on the steps of Guthrie's Carnegie Library, the first tax-supported library in Oklahoma.

Guthrie's first census in 1890 counted 5,333 residents who already supported eight newspapers, nine churches, and eleven schools, and the population peaked at 11,757 in 1920.

The 2020 census counted 10,749 people in Guthrie, up from 10,191 in 2010, and Census Bureau estimates since then show the city growing again as part of the Oklahoma City metropolitan area.

Downtown Guthrie is one of the best-preserved Victorian-era city centers in America: the roughly 1,400-acre Guthrie Historic District, with some 2,000 historic buildings, was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1999.

Guthrie's Scottish Rite Temple on East Oklahoma Avenue, built in the 1920s, covers several city blocks and ranks among the largest Masonic temples in the world.

The Oklahoma Territorial Museum in Guthrie tells the story of the territory and the land runs, and the State Capital Publishing Museum preserves the presses of the newspaper that once made Guthrie home to one of the largest printing houses west of the Mississippi.
