Oklahoma's recorded history began in 1541 when Spanish explorer Coronado ventured through the area on his quest for the "Lost city of Gold." The area that would eventually become known as Oklahoma was part of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. The United States paid France $15 million for the Louisiana Territory - Land that would later become thirteen states. The purchase nearly doubled the size of the United States. More Oklahoma Masonic History . The United States government opened up the western part of Indian Territory to settlers by holding six land runs between 1889 and 1895. Native Americans from more that 67 tribes call Oklahoma their home, 37 Federally Recognized. The name Oklahoma literally means "red people." It was taken from two Choctaw words "okla" ("people") and "humma" (red").

On November 10, 1892 the 2nd charter For Edmond Masonic Lodge was issued assigning Edmond Lodge #4 under the GL Oklahoma Territory .

Edmond Masonic Lodge petitioned for their old designation of #37 and was charted on the 3rd occasion as Edmond Lodge #37.
