Charles Colcord (1859-1934) was born in Kentucky, but moved to Louisiana, and then Texas as a child. Colcord’s immediate family owned slaves when he was a small child, but he had relatives fighting on both sides during the Civil War. Colcord spent much of his teen years in Texas working on ranches and cattle drives, eventually living in Kansas and Arizona before making his way to Oklahoma Territory. He first came to Oklahoma during the land run of 1889, but sold his first claim in Hennessey and moved to Oklahoma City the next day where he became a policeman within days of his arrival. He would later serve as Oklahoma County’s first sheriff and later as a deputy marshal.

Colcord later participated in the run of 1893 with the opening of the Cherokee Strip and lived in Perry, Oklahoma for a few years following the run, but moved back to Oklahoma City in 1898.

After his return to Oklahoma City Colcord served as president of Commercial National Bank, made fortunes in real estate and oil, and in 1910 saw the building of the first skyscraper in the city, the 12 story [[Colcord Building]], which he built for $750,000.

Colcord was inducted into the [[Oklahoma Hall of Fame]] in 1929.

In addition to his successes as a lawman and oil man, and businessman, Colcord also served as president of the Oklahoma Historical Society from 1926 until his death in 1934.
