Historical Highlight (September 2018)

Did You Know...

Sapulpa had one of its worst floods when 15.5 inches of rain fell on September 4, 1940. Over 100 homes were affected which caused 300 people to be rescued. The American Legion opened for the Red Cross to be able to feed stranded motorists who were unable to use the highways either west or south. (Sapulpa Herald, September 5, 1940).

'Historical Highlight' features this-month-in-Sapulpa-history.

Historical Highlight is the second segment of the new series, "Then and Now." This particular segment will be available every 2nd Friday each month. The series will be available every Friday (July 2018 to June 2019).
