Capitol Hill, Oklahoma City
- Capitol Hill, Oklahoma City
The Capital Hill area is a neighborhood of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It was established in 1904 and remained a separate city until it merged with its neighbor to the north in 1910.
Capital Hill was platted in 1900 by Benoni Harrington. The district soon became a center of commerce that boasted of major department stores such as John A. Brown and J.C. Penney. With the introduction of malls, particularly Crossroads Mall, many stores left Capital Hill.
In 1997, Capitol Hill became an official Main Street community and today the district enjoys a rich multi-cultural quality of life to include many types of businesses, including the Oklahoma Opry, restaurants, bakeries, graphic designers, churches, and service businesses catoring to the large hispanic local community.
Despite its name, Capital Hill is a historic business and entertainment district in south Oklahoma City and should not be confused with the capitol campus, which is centered at N. Lincoln Blvd and E. 23rd Street where the state capitol building (of Oklahoma) and other government agencies reside.
