George W. Gardenhire (Oct. 4, 1841 - Dec. 19, 1905)[1] was the first President of the Senate in the Oklahoma Territorial Legislature and a member of the Oklahoma's People's Party.
Early life
Born in 1841 in Marion County, Tennessee, Gardenhire moved to Lawrence County, Arkansas with his family when he was 10.[2]
Gardenhire served in the Civil War for several years and returned to Arkansas where he married Rebecca James in 1866.[2] He moved to Cowley County, Kansas in 1869. He moved to Payne County, Oklahoma in 1889.[2]
Political career
Gardenhire is best known for pushing through a compromise bill that set up what would become Oklahoma State University - Stillwater.[3]
Gardenhire was a Populist Party legislator, the only one on the council of the first Oklahoma Territorial Legislature. However, he was elected president,[4] due to the division of the legislature among Republicans and Democrats.[2]
Gardenhire also helped organize the Farmer's Alliance in Kansas during his time there.[2]
