Geocache Description:


This is located near the community of Yeager.  

According to the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture the present community was named for a Creek allottee, Hattie Yargee. The town was developed along the St. Louis, Oklahoma and Southern Railway, which was built between 1900 and 1901. When a post office was established on February 6, 1902, the Post Office Department changed the spelling of the office to the present Yeager.[6] An oil and gas field opened in the town in 1917 and helped support the railroad industry in the 1920s.

In 1917, the Yeager Oil Field opened, producing 25 to 2500 barrels of oil per day.  As the Yeager field developed during the 1920s, the railroad's revenue dramatically increased by transporting lumber, rig timber, and oil-field equipment to the community. By 1918 citizens had established a Baptist Church and a Church of Christ. In 1918 R. L. Polk's Oklahoma State Gazetteer and Business Directory estimated Yeager's population at 350.
