The history of many Oklahoma towns include the "old town" and the "new town," after some event—be it a disaster or a boon—occurred and forced a move. Both are the tale of tiny Vici (pronounced "vie-sigh"), a town in Dewey County that began as a post office in 1899, then moved to "Old Vici" in 1902. A tornado in 1908 blew the entire town away as the residents sought shelter in a cave. They rebuilt, but it was just a few years later when the boon came along—a nearby railway line—that inspired businesses and residents to pick up sticks and move closer to "New Vici."

What was the first business to relocate to "New Vici" in 1911?
