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.
