Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2025. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Stillwater, Oklahoma was founded in 1884, following the land run that opened up the Unassigned Lands for settlement. Named for its location near a still-water creek, the city quickly grew into a bustling hub for agriculture and commerce. The establishment of Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College (now Oklahoma State University) in 1890 solidified Stillwater’s status as an educational center, attracting students and faculty from across the region. Throughout the 20th century, Stillwater continued to evolve as a vibrant community, with a diverse economy driven by agriculture, manufacturing, and education. The city became known for its vibrant music scene, hosting popular festivals and events that drew visitors from far and wide. Today, Stillwater remains a thriving city with a rich history and a bright future. Its residents take pride in their heritage and are dedicated to preserving the charm and character that make Stillwater a unique and welcoming place to call home.
