Mr.Bigheart was an indian of the Cherokee tribe and he struck oil at the Birch Lake area in the early 1900's (Birch Lake was man made in 1971 , it wasn't there when he struck oil) About 1.5 miles away from the oil site, a town began to emerge. Later, the town was named Bigheart for he was the one that found the oil that provided jobs for the people of the community. Some time after, Mr. T.N. Barnsdall bought the town from Mr.Bigheart. The actual price is unknown. Mr.Barnsdall was also the owner of BARECO (BArnsdallREfineingCOmpany). During the 1920's oil boom, town then was oil fever and it grew to a estimate of 2,000.
