Enid, OK

Enid is the Garfield County seat and one of northwestern Oklahoma's main cities, about 70 miles north of Oklahoma City. It was founded during the Cherokee Outlet Land Run of 1893, on land once crossed by the Chisholm Trail, stagecoach lines, mail routes, and railroads. Enid's strongest identity is grain: its elevators helped earn the nicknames Queen Wheat City and Wheat Capital of Oklahoma. The city also has a cultural layer, from the Tri-State Music Festival to Leonardo's Discovery Warehouse downtown.
