Bizzell Library, University of Oklahoma

Norman is best known as the location of the University of Oklahoma (with about 30,000 full-time students), making it a center of culture, technology, and scientific research. OU is home to the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, one of the largest of its kind, and the Fred Jones, Jr. Museum of Art. The Jones Museum made news in 2001 when it was given the Weitzenhoffer Collection, the single most important collection of impressionist art ever given to an American university^{[citation needed]}, including works by Mary Cassatt, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Camille Pissarro, among others.

Norman's picture-book Main Street is a great source of pride for Normanites, as are the many shady, tree-lined housing areas that surround the OU campus. The west side of town has seen the most development in recent years, including affluent areas like Brookhaven, a sprawling neighborhood of townhomes, apartments, large estates and upscale retail and dining. Growth in Norman is also occurring close to campus, where there are infill developments underway that are making Norman a denser, and more chic college town. The central and eastern sections of town are older and include the areas around the OU campus and downtown. Both areas retain their historic appearance and resemble what most people would think of as the core area of a college town. In 2006, Money Magazine ranked Norman as the 40th best place to live in the United States, the highest of any city in Oklahoma.^[3] Cover of Money magazine Money is a Time Warner financial magazine. ...

Residents of Norman are split on whether or not it should be considered a suburb of Oklahoma City. The city itself actually pulls from a shopping base and a workforce outside of its own city, with major new shopping developments, and major employers like OU and the USPS. The city has also recently put a major emphasis on sustainable growth, which also makes it unusual compared to other suburbs in Central Oklahoma, and abroad.^{[citation needed]}

History

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway planned Norman as a station site in Indian Territory in 1886-87, taking the name "Norman's Camp," a phrase that (the story goes) had been carved in a nearby tree 16 years earlier by the crew of a U.S. Land Office surveyor, Abner E. Norman, who camped nearby while mapping the area. The town itself, while platted by the railroad, wasn't settled until the Great Land Run of 1889, the mad dash by settlers to claim the Unassigned Lands at the center of Indian Territory.
