Named for the first State Fair of Oklahoma
In October 1907 — a month before statehood — the first State Fair of Oklahoma opened on the city's east side at NE 10th Street and Eastern Avenue, today's Martin Luther King Avenue, on land bought by civic leader Henry Overholser. There was a half-mile horse-racing track, a grandstand, a music hall and an exposition hall. The fair moved west in 1954, and the old grounds became the campus of Frederick A. Douglass High School — about three-quarters of a mile from these homes.
The neighborhood around it has a story of its own. It sits next door to historic Deep Deuce and was home to early Black-owned businesses like Percy James's Jay-Kola and the Jewel Theater. The land under these homes was part of the Oklahoma City Urban Renewal Authority's JFK project area, deeded for this development in 2007 and built out in 2010 and 2011.
