History

Fair Oaks was incorporated in 1966, by L. S. Robson, owner of a large ranch in Wagoner County. At the time, it contained two hundred acres of land and twenty residents. In 1969, the town added 15,000 acres. By 1980, the town was recognized as a "bedroom community" of Tulsa, and the population had grown to 324. The population peaked at 1,133 in 1990, and the Robson descendants agreed for the town and the remainder of the Robson ranch to be annexed by Tulsa.Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture.
