Midwest City was founded in 1942 by W. P. "Bill" Atkinson, a prominent businessman and builder in Oklahoma. The name Midwest City confuses some people because Midwest City is not in the mid west. The name actually has its roots with Tinker Air Force Base, originally called Midwest Air Depot.

Back in 1951, Midwest City was honored as "America's Model City." Today, Midwest City holds official designations of "Tree City USA" and "Certified City". A community of 25 square miles, Midwest City's southern boundary is adjacent to Tinker Air Force Base with 4 gates that lead directly onto the Base.

A warm and friendly atmosphere created by the citizens and a quality of life, which places family first, defines the community. It is a special place to live. Located in Central Oklahoma, Midwest City serves as the economic trade center for Eastern Oklahoma County and is conveniently close to metropolitan area amenities.
