Is a prosperous and growing little village located in the
southeast corner of the county, on the Santa Fe and M.P.
railways.
It was settled by people from the Keystone state [Pennsylvania]
in the early eighties and their inherited habits of thrift,
neatness and industry have made it a model town.
It has a good hotel, a bank, stores sufficient to accommodate
the business of the town, it has a fine school building and more
churches in proportion to its population than any town in the
state. It is surrounded by an agricultural community in one of
the most fertile sections of the county and the handsome, well
kept farm houses and spacious barns and granaries are good to
look upon, constantly reminding one of the state of Wm. Penn.
It is a great corn market and feeding point for stockmen in
winter time, who hold their cattle in the grass regions where no
grain is grown.
Upon the whole, judging from appearances, the people of Hazelton
and vicinity are prosperous, progressive and under bonds to no
one but themselves.
"Hazelton was settled largely by families from Mercer County,
Pennsylvania, who were persuaded to come west by the town's
founders, J.O. Hazelton and A.H. Peck. Once a thriving community
that boasted the Hazelton Collegiate Institute, Hazelton was
badly depleted by the Oklahoma Land Run when many houses,
hotels, and businesses moved into Oklahoma."
