The City of Woodward was established in 1887 at the junction of the Fort Reno  Military Road and the Southern Kansas Railway on the south bank of the  North Canadian River.

It soon became an important shipping point, both in provisioning Fort  Supply as well as a place for loading cattle to be sent to eastern markets.

Since the opening of the Cherokee Outlet on September 16, 1893, Woodward  has served as the county seat of Woodward County. It was known as one of  the wildest and woolliest towns in the Outlet. At one time, twenty-three  saloons and fifteen brothels lined the red-dirt streets.

Woodward, with a population of over 15,000 continues to serve  northwest Oklahoma as a commercial hub for over 70,000 area residents.

As one Woodwardite put it in 1944, Woodward’s eastern aggressiveness  and western hospitality combine to enthrall you with the fact that
“Woodward is the town you’ve been wishing for, dreaming of, and looking for.”

Today Woodward is recognized as the regional hub in the northwest portion of the state. Woodward enjoys a thriving economy and low unemployment. New construction is everywhere you look in Woodward today. Several banks, hotels, and restaurants have recently constructed new or expanded existing  facilities in Woodward.

Woodward has been a major focus of the energy industry for many years and has enhanced its regional  position with the addition of alternative energy solutions such as Wind Power Generation.

Community Development and infrastructure improvements have been a top priority of our City leadership. Woodward has embarked on a multi million dollar renovation of the Crystal Beach Park which will become another jewel for the entire community to enjoy. Northwest Oklahoma State University’s new Woodward campus and will add greatly to our ability to offer quality higher education opportunities. Woodward Main Street is undergoing a revitalization with the start of the Streetscape Project due to begin soon.

All-in-All “Today is truly a great time to be in Woodward”.
