Land for the City of Attica was bought in late June 1884. It became the end of the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway. The town was incorporated on February 16, 1885, and 1,500 people lived there. More people came to Attica until the Cherokee Outlet in northern Oklahoma was opened by a Land run in 1893. Many people moved south to that area.[5]
