Del City
East of OKC
Tinker neighbor · I-40 crossroads
Del City, Oklahoma, is a different kind of town story: in 1946, Capitol Hill home builder George Epperly bought 160 acres of wheat field at SE 29th and Sunnylane, built 50 affordable homes, and helped two hundred families vote to incorporate in 1948—naming the city for his eldest daughter, Delaphene, and the streets for his other daughters. Today, this 7.5-square-mile city of 21,000+ sits between OKC and Midwest City, cut by I-40, next to Tinker Air Force Base, with a documented military tradition and a strong sense of local pride.

Edmond
North of OKC
Land Run roots · UCO · north metro anchor
Edmond, Oklahoma, carries a founding ambition from April 22, 1889: settlers who raced in from the horizon and quickly built schools, churches, and civic institutions—including Oklahoma Territory's first public schoolhouse and an early church—while the University of Central Oklahoma (Territorial Normal School) grew into a major employer and cultural anchor. Today roughly 95,000 people live in a Sandstone Hills setting known for Edmond Public Schools' three large high schools, a nationally noticed downtown on Broadway, Arcadia Lake and Hafer Park, Liberty Fest's Fourth of July draw, and consistent demand among relocating families across Oklahoma and the Southwest.
