Early in its history, Stroud had a reputation as a "wild" town due to its many saloons and other businesses catering to thirsty cowboys and travelers arriving from "dry" Indian Territory.
These days were short-lived, however, because Oklahoma statehood forced Stroud to turn into "dry" as well.
The rest of the gang escaped with $5815...". Henry was sentenced to prison at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, but was paroled after serving only four years.
Stroud was devastated by the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak, which finished the town's 53-store Tanger Outlet Center, as well as a distribution center owned by foodservice business Sygma. Neither of these facilities were rebuilt; the resulting loss of 800 jobs caused a momentous amount of economic distress to the town.
