Ardmore, itself, had its beginnings with the railroad. In 1887, the Santa Fe Railroad came through and the town was born 28 July 1887 when the first train arrived. It was a tent city at first, named after Ardmore, Pennsylvania which had been named after Ardmore By-the-Sea, Ireland. The railroad brought the materials to build a real town. Ardmore quickly grew as a trading center. By the 1890's, it was the largest inland cotton center in the world. Its primary industries were cotton ginning, and coal and asphalt mining. In 1895, the "Great Fire" burned nearly all of the town, but the current Ardmore came up from the ashes. The town prospered not only because of the railroad, but also because of trucking and agriculture. More industry has come in recent years. In 1898 with a population of approximately 6200 citizens, Ardmore became a chartered city. It was eventually incorporated as a city in 1959. In 1899, the first public high school was established. It was the first public high school in either Indian Territory or Oklahoma Territory (Oklahoma became a state in 1907).
