This park is named for Nolan Watson (2/10/1916-8/4/1985), a prominent citizen of Coalgate. In honor of Oklahoma's 100th anniversary of Statehood and Coalgate's incorporation in 1898, this clock was placed in the park through the generosity of Nolan Watson's wife Carolyn, and the Rural Oklahoma Community Foundation which she founded.
This clock has two faces, with metal scroll work at the top which reads "Inc. 1898 / COALGATE". The clock is one made available to celebrate the state's anniversary in 2007. The clock has Roman numerals and was working at the time of our visit.
