If the town was incorporated after statehood, the statutes provide for action by the County Commissioners. You might check county records for minutes or a resolution acknowledging incorporation.

Subject: [Oama] Town’s Founding Documents

Group:

I have asked this in the past but need to again due to a lengthy hospital stay and not seeing any responses previously.

Does anyone have any idea on how to get a Town’s founding documents?

I have tried the Secretary of State, the National archive registry in Dallas to no avail.

I have been told about an attorney opinion letter but don’t have a lot of info about that.

Thanks in advance.
