History

[edit]

Founding

[edit]

Blackwell came into existence during the Cherokee Outlet Opening on September 16, 1893, in the run known as the Cherokee Strip Land Run. The town is named for A. J. Blackwell, who was the dominant force in its founding. Andrew Blackwell had settled in the area in 1882,[6] having married the former Rosa Vaught who was of Cherokee descent, he was eligible to found the city. Blackwell served as Justice of the Peace and Mayor of Blackwell.[6]

Blackwell's first school opened in September 1893 in a small, frame building with fifty-two students in attendance. A gradual enrollment increase created a need for ten teachers by 1899.[7]

A post office was established on December 1, 1893. Due to a struggle for regional prominence between Blackwell and nearby Parker, the post office was named Parker from April 2, 1894, to February 4, 1895. After that, the name reverted to Blackwell.[7]

Prior to the Civil Rights Movement Blackwell had a reputation as a sundown town,[8][9][10] having kept out African Americans through violent expulsion and the display of a sign warning them to leave town by sunset. Blackwell's expulsion of its African-American residents around 1893[11] is described in the 1967 book From Slavery to Freedom by John Hope Franklin.

Zinc smelter

[edit]

The Blackwell Zinc Company smelter first began operations in 1917.[5] In 1974, the 80-acre[12] Blackwell Zinc Smelter facility ceased operations.[13] At the time, it was the city's largest employer, employing 800 people in 1972, and over 1,000 at its peak.[5] It also was one of the largest zinc smelter facilities in the United States.[14] After its closure the land was donated to the Blackwell Industrial Authority (BIA).[15] Soil from the land was repurposed throughout the city, leading to widespread contamination of air and water, including the Chikaskia River.[12] One of the plant's two Corliss stationary steam engines was moved to Pawnee Oklahoma and preserved; this engine is run for viewing by the public on the first weekend of May.

The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality has been overseeing remediation of contamination at the industrial park, groundwater, and soil throughout parts of the city since 1992.[16] Phelps Dodge Corporation, a subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc, has owned the site since 1999.[17] On October 15, 2009, the City of Blackwell filed suit against Freeport-McMoRan calling the contamination a nuisance, and alleging that 58 million pounds of toxic waste remained in the city, causing illness within its 7,200 residents.[12][18] Following several changes of venue between Federal court and Kay County courts, the City of Blackwell and Freeport settled for 54-million dollars on February 4, 2010.[19][20]

1955 F5 tornado

[edit]
Main article: 1955 Great Plains tornado outbreak § Blackwell, Oklahoma

Blackwell was a victim of the 1955 Great Plains tornado outbreak, a deadly tornado outbreak that struck the southern and central U.S Great Plains States on May 25–26, 1955. It produced at least 46 tornadoes across seven states including two F5 tornadoes in Blackwell, Oklahoma, and Udall, Kansas. The outbreak killed 102 from three tornadoes while injuring hundreds more. Unusual electromagnetic activity was observed, including St. Elmo's fire.[21]

The Blackwell tornado formed in Noble County at around 9:00 pm CDT before crossing through the eastern portions of the Kay County town of Blackwell as an F5 wedge tornado. Then about 400 yd (0.23 mi) wide (Grazulis 1991), It claimed the lives of 20 people in Blackwell and injured over 200 before crossing into and dissipating over Cowley County, Kansas. Along with destroying nearly 200 homes,[22] the tornado demolished two of the town's main employers, the Acme Foundry and the Hazel Atlas Glass plant. Four hundred homes were destroyed or swept away, and 500 other homes were damaged.[22] Sixty businesses were also destroyed and the local hospital sustained major damage. Most of the western half of the town was spared the worst of the damage.[22]

To commemorate the 1955 tornado, the Top of Oklahoma Historical Society Museum housed in the 1912 Electric Park Pavilion in Blackwell put on a special exhibition "F5 in 1955" which included a ‘tornado room’ which displayed artifacts, information, and photographs of the event. Over a year in the making, the exhibit occupied an entire room and was made possible with financial support from the city of Blackwell. “Working with the wonderful people at the Top of Oklahoma Museum and the Udall Historical Society was the best part of the creation of the “F5 in 1955” exhibit," said Dianne Braden, tornado survivor. "To commemorate the event and the loss of 107 people was important to all of us. There’s something for every age in the exhibit.”[23][24]

Climate

[edit]

On May 25, 1955, a deadly F5 tornado, part of the 1955 Great Plains tornado outbreak, struck Blackwell at approximately 9:30 pm and cut a swath of destruction through the northeastern portion of the city, roughly centered in the neighborhoods surrounding Riverside Park. 20 residents died and over 250 were injured. The tornado outbreak included another F5 tornado that struck Udall, Kansas killing 80 people and injuring over 270.[25] The outbreak spawned 19 tornadoes across Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas alone.[26][27]

Government

[edit]

The Blackwell City Council currently consists of Richard Braden, representing Ward 1; Karey Henderson, representing Ward 2; Scott Moen, representing Ward 3; and Todd Murphy, representing Ward 4; and Pat Hullet holding the current position of Mayor.[42]

The current City Manager is Jerry Wieland.[43] The Chief of Police is Jay Brewer[44] and the Fire Chief is Cordell Hanebrink.[45]

Blackwell City Council

[edit]

The Blackwell City Council currently consists of five electors holding three-year terms (or until their successors are elected and qualified.) Four of the council members represent their individual ward in which they reside for the entire term of their office, and which represents roughly one quarter of the city's population. The fifth member of the council, the mayor, is elected without regard to residency in any particular ward. The mayor serves as the chairperson of the city council. Each member of the city council is required to have residence in Blackwell for one calendar year prior to their election and must remain a resident through their term or vacate their position; and must be at least 25 at the time of the election. Each year, the City Council elects a vice-mayor among themselves who will fill the duties and obligations of the mayor in the mayor's absence or disqualification.

Vacancies occur when a councilor becomes ineligible to hold their position, resigns, or passes away. If a council position becomes vacant, the remaining council members will appoint a qualified elector for the remainder of the position's term. Ward councilor positions are considered vacant when the representing councilor moves outside of the electing ward's boundaries, with an exception that a change in boundaries does not disqualify a councilor from completing their term for which they were elected.

Education

[edit]

The Blackwell School District consists of Blackwell Elementary, Blackwell Middle School, and Blackwell High School. As recently as 2017 Huston, Northside, Parkside, and Washington Elementary Schools were used for Pre-K through 5th grade classes. The former school sites are all listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Blackwell's school mascot is the Maroon Spirit, which was memorialized in the Maroon Park on Main Street with a mural painted by the Blackwell High School art class depicting the Maroon Spirit with the names of the seniors given the title of "Maroon Spirit" and "Miss BHS" dating back to the early 1900s. Historically, Oklahoma Baptist College served the city's higher education needs between 1901 and 1913.[5]
