Choctaw is a small and vibrant community of 10,000
residents, where the values of small town living merge
with strong incentives for economic growth.
Just minutes from major highways and neighboring cities
and towns, Choctaw has a special feeling that makes
it a little different from surrounding communities.
Choctaw's location in the Oklahoma City Metro Area
provides its residents and businesses with access to
a region of one million plus people. Choctaw is open
to job and business opportunities, a large labor force,
a wide selection of cultural, recreational and educational
opportunities and close proximity to a major airport.
These amenities are available to Choctaw due to its
location in eastern Oklahoma County.
The very name conveys thoughts of pioneers and native
Americans. Indeed, it is from the Oklahoma Land Run
of 1889 that Choctaw began. Choctaw is the oldest chartered
town in Oklahoma. Choctaw physically became a community
in 1890, but was not given actual status as a town until
1893 when a territorial governor was appointed for Oklahoma.
It officially celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1993.
Choctaw is the third fastest growing community in the
Oklahoma City Metro area. The City encompasses over
twenty-seven (27) square miles and its population has
more than tripled since 1970 to its current level of
approximately 10,000. Choctaw residents are relatively
young (average age is 33.4 years) with income and educational
levels considerably higher than Oklahoma County and
surrounding communities.
All our roads lead to scenic lakes where we can swim,
ski, sail, fish or simply relax along a shady bank.
Our city is only twenty minutes from the largest Air
Force Material Command system, Tinker Air Force Base,
and a like distance to the largest General Motors Plant
which manufactures an average of 300,000 units per year.
We are only 20 minutes from the downtown metro area
of Oklahoma City, a sprawling city of 900,000; a major
economic and cultural center which leads to other industrial
giants such as Lucent Technologies, Kerr McGee, and
the FAA. We have beautiful parks, the Zoo, Museums,
Remington Park, and Will Rogers World Airport. It's
all here awaiting your discovery.
Sixteen churches within the city and several nearby
areas represent most denominations.
Within our city is a 160 acre park, being developed
to meet the demands for picnicking, baseball, softball,
volleyball and other recreational facilities.
