The largest competitive event in history occurred in northwest Oklahoma on Sept. 16, 1893. The Cherokee Strip Land Run saw 100,000 land-hungry pioneers racing for 40,000 plots of land and town lots. Successful settlers then staked their claim at one of four land offices, with one being in what is now Enid. By nightfall, Enid was a town of 10,000 people, and those pioneers were excited about their new adventure.
The situation today is much different than in 1893, but the results are the same. People come to Enid to stake their claim for modern adventures and opportunities, to make new memories. Come join us and stake your claim while exploring Enid your way.
