City Hall - Alva Oklahoma

City Hall - Alva Oklahoma Founded in 1893, Population 5,028 (2020 Census) Alva lost 200 people between 1990 and 2000 according to official census figures.

Alva was established in 1893 as a land office for the Cherokee Outlet land run, the largest of the land rushes that settled western and central Oklahoma. The site was chosen for its location on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway and likely named for a railroad attorney, Alva Adams, who had become governor of Colorado. Alva is home to Northwestern Oklahoma State University (NWOSU), founded in

1897 as a normal school.[3] The college's main building for a time was the "Castle on the Hill," a huge, fanciful brick building, modeled after a Norman castle, that towered over much of the town. The Castle burned down in 1935, to be replaced by the more staid Jesse Dunn Hall, which was dedicated in 1937 by Eleanor Roosevelt. Today, the city council is actively soliciting murals -- one of the most recent is of the storied Castle—and trying to attract businesses and tourists to keep people in town, important as the population of Woods County has been dropping since the 1930s. It has a Wal-Mart Supercenter that is one of the smallest supercenters ever built. The area is generally religious, with 16 different churches, all Christian, in town. The Alva Review-Courier is published Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Ronnie is one of the best… he’s going through it right now. He’s a tough son of a gun, but let him know he’s got a full pit crew! Get a shirt and send some prayers up!

These will be printed on a Gildan Soft Style t-shirt with all proceeds going to Ronnie for medical expenses. This will be two-sided design, with a front left chest (Pit Crew Ribbon with cross) and back (No Driver Races Alone).
