On May 16, 1908, Governor Charles N. Haskell signed a bill creating the Oklahoma Industrial Institute and College for Girls, the first college established after statehood by the First Oklahoma Legislature. That institution subsequently became the Oklahoma College for Women, which served exclusively as a women's college until 1965 when it was made co-educational.

In recognition of the college's unique history and its distinctive, architectural characteristics, the National Park Service formally listed the "Oklahoma College for Women Historic District" on its National Register of Historic Places on September 9, 2001.

This designation makes the college the only campus in Oklahoma higher education to be listed as an historic district.

The Oklahoma College for Women Historic District contains 14 buildings and four other structures. To qualify these resources must be at least 50 years of age, and must be compatible with the college's architectural style, Qualifying structures include the north gate, oval entry gates, and a 1924 stone bench.
