oklahoma city became the capital of oklahoma on june 10, 1910, supplanting guthrie, the territorial capital, as the population center and commercial hub of the new state. early city leaders john shartel, anton classen, james w. maney and henry overholser helped grow the city, which developed an efficient trolley system, a major regional commercial center, a railway hub and had attracted several large meat packing plants along with other industry. the city, now with a population of 64,000, put in a petition to become the new state capital. a popular vote was held, with governor charles n. haskell as one of the strongest advocates for oklahoma city's candidacy, which oklahoma city won. the vote was not popular among guthrie civic leaders, though, and an unknown oklahoma city booster, most likely from the okc chamber of commerce, allegedly spirited the state seal away from the state capital at guthrie in the middle of the night to ensure the transfer. the oklahoma state capitol was established at n.e. 23rd street and lincoln boulevard. the capitol lacked a dome after its initial construction; it could not be added by the time the building was completed in 1919 due to lack of funds. a dome was finally added to the building in 2002.
