From the Greater OKC website, on the link to "history":
The YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City was formed in May of 1889, one month after the famous Oklahoma Land Run. In those days, its purpose was to provide a source of strength and positive influence for young men who had traveled far from their families to make a new life for themselves.
The association was incorporated in 1917. The Y has addressed the needs of society and its services have been consistent with the growth of the metropolitan area.
Today programs are offered through 10 branch locations and more than 20 program sites. Program and administrative functions are coordinated through the association office. The Y has grown and changed with the times, providing services and solutions to community problems that impact the population. Financial assistance, teaching children to swim, teen leadership programs and providing school-age childcare are just some of the ways the Y provides for its community.
