The OKC City Council voted in March, 1929, to change all of the street names in south OKC (which, as mentioned, was merely the stockyards and Capitol Hill) to numbers to avoid what they claimed was confusion. There are many articles in the newspapers of that time about all the protests, some of which escalated into sign theft. The council directed that all street names be painted on the curbs at intersections with the new street numbers following in parentheses after the names. In a few years, the names were removed and the new numbers were exclusively used. There was every intention at that time to rename Reno, Sheridan, California, etc; but somehow the city never got around to doing so. A more complete post about this renaming will follow soon.

All E-W streets south of Main street were named streets. If you go down SW 25th street in Capitol Hill, you will see that the street is named Commerce street through the Capitol Hill area.SW & SE 36th street is still known as Grand Blvd. At one time, Grand Blvd was a loop that went around all of Oklahoma City. But now it has been mostly taken over by modern roads.

I don't know exactly when the started using NE, NW, etc, but in the 1920s and 1930s there were no numbered streets on the south side. They were all names. About the only thing south of the Canadian River was the stockyards and the Capitol Hill area.

I am currently researching the change that was made sometime in the 1920's. Currently, all E-W streets north of Sheridan are NE or NW, while streets south of Sheridan are SE or SW. N-S streets east of Santa Fe are NE or SE and streets west of Santa Fe are NW or SW. Numbered streets are E-W only. There is an occassional named street running E-W (Sheridan and Reno come to mind), but they are rare.
