Fort Sill
Today as the U.S. Army Field Artillery Center, Fort Sill remains the only active Army installation of all the forts on the South Plains built during the Indian wars. It serves as a nation historic landmark and home of the Field Artillery for the free world.
Lawton, OK
Lawton was founded on August 6, 1901, when the Kiowa-Comanche reservation was opened for white settlement. A lottery was used to distribute the land, meaning a person wanting a claim-which was 160 acres in the new section-had to register for a drawing. The town site was selected by federal authorities and located on a section of prairie south of Fort Sill, which had been in existence since the 1860's. General Henry W. Lawton is the town's namesake.
