About Nicoma Park
Nicoma Park is a quiet suburb tucked just east of Oklahoma City, offering small-town charm with a quick commute into the metro. Founded in the 1920s by developer G.A. Nichols, the town got its quirky name by combining "Nichols" with "Oklahoma" and originally began as a planned chicken-farming community. That early poultry venture faded during the Great Depression, but the town rebounded in the 1940s alongside nearby Tinker Air Force Base, which continues to attract many residents today.
You can still spot hints of that rural past around town, where spacious lots and older farm properties give the neighborhoods plenty of breathing room. Daily life is centered on local parks, seasonal community events, and the well-regarded Choctaw-Nicoma Park school system. For anyone looking for a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere within easy reach of the city, Nicoma Park makes a comfortable place to settle down.
