History
In 1962, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce organized a beautification committee, the Mayor's Committee for City Beautification, appointed and organized by Mayor James H. Norick. The committee's programming grew, and in 1968, was incorporated as Oklahoma City Beautiful Inc. as the only nonprofit organization dedicated to the beautification of Oklahoma City.
