Journalism on the OU campus can be traced back to 1897, five years after the university's founding. It began with OU's first magazine/newspaper "The Umpire". Eventually, the staff of "The Umpire" began asking for classes that formally taught journalism. One class was offered. By 1912, the demand increased for more classes. OU President Stratton D. Brooks applied to the State Board of Education for a separate journalism school. His request was granted and the School of Journalism began September 1, 1913. The first permanent building specifically for journalism was Copeland Hall, built in 1958. It remained in Copeland Hall until the opening of Gaylord Hall in 2004.

Both the new building and the new college are named for the Gaylord family who have given many millions of dollars to the university of the years. Some of the key contributors have been Edward K. Gaylord, his son Edward L. Gaylord, Edward L. Gaylord's wife Edith Gaylord and daughter Christy Gaylord Everest.
