Territorial Incorporation Records, 1890–1907
The Incorporation Records for the Oklahoma and Indian Territories have been digitized in a joint project with the Oklahoma Historical Society and the Oklahoma Secretary of State’s Office. The ledger books were generated by the territorial secretary as new businesses and municipalities began conducting business. There are 27 volumes of Oklahoma Territory incorporation records and 15 volumes for Indian Territory.
Some examples of ledger entries include agreement & incorporation, incorporation amendments, appointment of agent, dissolution, and lease and mortgage transactions. Entries begin in 1890 and continue until statehood in 1907.
Ledgers include records for businesses, churches, organizations, and associations. The records do not include incorporations for towns and cities.
