Our Welcome Message
When deciding to select an opening photograph for Lawton, Oklahoma, the beauty of our lovely sunsets and the familiar Wichita Mountains came to mind. Many visitors are surprised that we have what can officially be called “mountains” as a part of our city panorama. Although not the oldest mountain range in the United States, it is older than the majestic Rockies further west. Worn and weathered, our mountains are not high enough to ski down, but as many know, the many granite boulders are just right for climbing.
But a city is more than scenery! It includes the personality and activity of the people that live there, and our personality is unique for Oklahoma. Lawton, Oklahoma is often called the state's third largest city. The historic military post Fort Sill has drawn into our community people from many different places throughout the world, and though many have left a soft impression as they landed briefly and moved on, others have stayed to influence the direction and personality of Lawton, Oklahoma.
The purpose of this site is to provide another “gathering place” for useful information that will aid the citizens of our community to enjoy its activities and commerce. The makers of this site have attempted to include events for the Lawton, Oklahoma area as far east as Duncan, as far west as Altus, north to Chickasha, and south to Wichita Falls, Texas. It is our hope that it will be a helpful vehicle to more fully enjoy our little spot of the earth.
