Culture
History
Historic Capitol Hill is located just south of Downtown OKC and borders the Oklahoma River. Incorporated as a City in 1904, it was once slated to be the Capital of Oklahoma. Capitol Hill maintained sovereignty until 1911 when it was finally annexed to Oklahoma City with a dowry of $12,000.
​
Commerce Avenue was born from the entrepreneurial spirit of Oklahomans, establishing the Capitol Hill Commercial District. Today, the newly branded, Calle Dos Cinco continues to promote that same family-focused and entrepreneurial spirit as it is now home to a growing number of multicultural shops, restaurants, and services.
Calle Dos Cinco strives to preserve both the architectural and the cultural history of Capitol Hill by promoting its progression into the vibrant multicultural neighborhood business district it has become. Becoming a National Main Street in 1997, district leaders introduced the award-winning Fiestas de Las Americas Festival. This growing festival celebrates the diversity of cultures in the Greater Oklahoma City community. Welcoming crowds of upwards of 20,000 visitors each year to participate in the Cultural Celebration during Hispanic Heritage Month. Today various languages can be heard as you enter the walkable business district. The surrounding residential area boasts a population of 74% Hispanic origin and 5% Native American. You can find Native American and Latin Artisanry throughout the Capitol Hill small businesses.
