Editing Gate, Oklahoma (section)

=== Old Gate ===
In 1886, with the establishment of a post office, Gate City came to being. In 1894, an application was filed to move the post office for the third time. It was moved 113 rods southeast, to where several business were established and the name was changed to just Gate. Here Gate grew until the railroad came, in 1910. By this time Gate had two livery stables, a hotel, barber shop, pool hall, harness shop, grocery, real estate, hardware stores, bank, doctor's office and drug store, Masonic hall, numerous churches, furniture store, funeral home, bakery, U.S. Land office, millinery shop, lumber yard, two black smiths and a feed mill. When the railroad bypassed the town, the businessmen moved the town to the railroad, the present site of Gate.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=GA020|title=Gate {{!}} The Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture|website=www.okhistory.org|access-date=December 30, 2017}}</ref>
