Guthrie is a city in and the county seat in Logan County, Oklahoma, United States, and a part of the Oklahoma City Metroplex. As of the 2020 census, Guthrie had a population of 10,749. First known as a railroad station stop, after the Land Run of 1889, Guthrie immediately gained 10,000 new residents, who began to develop the town. It was rapidly improved and was designated as the territorial capital, and in 1907 as the first state capital of Oklahoma. In 1910, state voters chose the larger Oklahoma City as the new capital in a special election.
