'''Cleveland''' is a city in [[Pawnee County, Oklahoma|Pawnee County]], [[Oklahoma]], United States. The population was 3,205 as of the [[2020 United States census|2020 Census]].<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.census.gov/search-results.html?searchType=web&cssp=SERP&q=Cleveland%20city,%20Oklahoma  |title=Cleveland (city), Oklahoma|publisher=United States Census Bureau|accessdate=July 4, 2024}}</ref>

==History==
After the [[Cherokee Outlet]] opening, a homesteader by the name of Willis H. Herbert established a town named Herbert by opening a post office on the current townsite of Cleveland on October 28, 1893.  The Post Office department subsequently withdrew the approval of the Herbert post office.  The post office was then moved 100 feet, and reestablished under the name Cleveland, named in honor of then President [[Grover Cleveland]] on April 19, 1894.  By 1900, the town's population was 211. Before the discovery of oil in the area, the town served as a trade center between the local farmers and the [[Osage Nation|Osage Tribe]] who lived on the reservation on the other side of the Arkansas river.<ref name=EOHC>[https://www.okhistory.org/publications/enc/entry.php?entry=CL012 ''Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture'' - Cleveland] Retrieved 3/22/2020</ref>

In 1904, a railroad line owned by the Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad (later known as [[Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway]] or Katy) from Oklahoma City reached Cleveland and crossed the Arkansas River into Osage County. On May 27, 1904, the first oil well was spudded near the community, and it caused an influx of  oil workers and other people. At the time of statehood in 1907, Cleveland had 1,441 residents.<ref name=EOHC/>
