History

The Town of Luther was established nine years after the 1889 Land Run on March 18, by Luther F. Aldrich of Cumberland County, Illinois. When the railroad extended east along what is now Highway 66, an old friend of Aldrich, C. G. Jones, became interested in the new territory and made land purchases to build towns along the railroad in Oklahoma Territory.

Luther celebrated its Quasquicentennial, 125 years, in 2023, with a parade and festivities.
