Enid (Шаблон:IPAc-en Шаблон:Respell) is the ninth-largest city in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It is the county seat of Garfield County. As of the 2020 census, the population was 51,308. Enid was founded during the opening of the Cherokee Outlet in the Land Run of 1893, and is named after Enid, a character in Alfred, Lord Tennyson's Idylls of the King. In 1991, the Oklahoma state legislature designated Enid the "purple martin capital of Oklahoma."[1] Enid holds the nickname of "Queen Wheat City" and "Wheat Capital" of Oklahoma and the United States for its immense grain storage capacity, and has the third-largest grain storage capacity in the world.[2]
History
Prior to the Land Run of 1893, the land where present day Enid, Oklahoma sits was part of O County in the Cherokee Outlet, and was occupied by the Cherokee people following the Treaty of New Echota and the Cherokee trail of tears.[3] Historically, the area was a hunting ground for the Wichita, Osage, and Kiowa tribes. The Chisholm Trail, stage coach lines, mail routes, and railroads passed through stations in the town which was then known as Skeleton.[4][5] In summer 1889, M.A. Low, a Rock Island official, visited the local railroad station then under construction, and inquired about its name.[6] Disliking the original name, he renamed the station Enid, after a character in Alfred Lord Tennyson's Idylls of the King.[7][8] However, a more fanciful story of how the town received its name is popular. According to that tale, in the days following the land run, some enterprising settlers decided to set up a chuckwagon and cook for their fellow pioneers, hanging a sign that read "DINE".[9] Some other, more free-spirited settlers, turned that sign backward to read, of course, "ENID". The name stuck.
During the opening of the Cherokee Outlet in the Land Run of 1893, Enid was the location of a land office which is now preserved in its Humphrey Heritage Village, part of the Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center. Enid, the rail station, (now North Enid, Oklahoma) was the original town site endorsed by the government.[10] It was platted by the surveyor W. D. Twichell, then of Amarillo, Texas.[11] Шаблон:Stack
The Enid-Pond Creek Railroad War ensued when the Department of the Interior moved the government site Шаблон:Convert south of the station prior to the land run, which was then called South Enid.[10] During the run, due to the Rock Island's refusal to stop, people leaped from the trains to stake their claim in the government-endorsed site.[12] By the afternoon of the run, Enid's population was estimated at 12,000 people located in the Enid's Шаблон:Convert town plat.[13] Enid's original plat in 1893 was 6 blocks wide by 11 blocks long consisting of the town square on the northwest end, West Hill (Jefferson) school on the southwest end, Government Springs Park in the middle southern section, and East Hill (Garfield) school on the far northeast corner.[14] A year later, the population was estimated at 4,410, growing to 10,087 by 1907, the year of Oklahoma statehood.[15]
The town's early history was captured in Cherokee Strip: A Tale of an Oklahoma Boyhood by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Marquis James, who recounts his boyhood in Enid.[16]
He writes of the early town:
Enid experienced a "golden age" following the discovery of oil in the region in the 1910s and continuing until World War II.[17] Enid's economy boomed as a result of the growing oil, wheat, and rail industries, and its population grew steadily throughout the early 20th century in conjunction with a period of substantial architectural development and land expansion. Enid's downtown had the construction of several buildings including the Broadway Tower, Garfield County Courthouse, and Enid Masonic Temple. In conjunction with the oil boom, oilmen such as T. T. Eason, H. H. Champlin, and Charles E. Knox built homes in the area. Residential additions during this period include Kenwood, Waverley, Weatherly, East Hill, Kinser Heights, Buena Vista, and McKinley.[18] Union Equity, Continental, Pillsbury, General Mills, and other grain companies operated mills and grain elevators in the area, creating what is now the Enid Terminal Grain Elevators Historic District,[19] and earning Enid the titles of "Wheat Capital of Oklahoma", "Queen Wheat City of Oklahoma," and "Wheat Capital of the United States"[2]
Geography
Located in Northwestern Oklahoma, Enid sits at the eastern edge of the Great Plains. It is located Шаблон:Convert north of Oklahoma City.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of Шаблон:Convert, of which Шаблон:Convert is land and Шаблон:Convert (0.12%) is water.
Climate
Enid's weather conditions are characterized by hot summers, cold, often snowy winters, and thunderstorms in the spring, which can produce tornadoes. The greatest one-day precipitation total by an official rain gauge in Oklahoma was in Enid when Шаблон:Convert fell on October 11, 1973.[21] Temperatures can fall below Шаблон:Convert in the winter, and reach above Шаблон:Convert in the summer. The highest recorded temperature was Шаблон:Convert in 1936, and the lowest recorded temperature was Шаблон:Convert in 1905. On average, the warmest month is July, January is the coolest month, and the maximum average precipitation occurs in June.[22]
An ice storm struck Northwest Oklahoma in late January 2002. The storm caused over $100 million of damage, initially leaving some 255,000 residences and businesses without power. A week later, 39,000 Oklahoma residents were still without power. Enid, with its population of 47,000, was entirely without electricity for days. The Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives reported over 31,000 electrical poles were destroyed across the state.[23] The American Red Cross set up a shelter at Northern Oklahoma College.
Some other notable storms in Enid's history include:
- March 16, 1965, an F4 tornado Шаблон:Convert away from the city center injured seven people and caused between $50,000 and $500,000 in damages.
- October 11–13, 1973, Oklahoma's greatest urban rainfall on record occurred. Known as the "Enid flood", an intense thunderstorm was centered over Enid with rainfall accumulations between 15 and 20 inches within a Шаблон:Convert area. About Шаблон:Convert fell in three hours.[24] Enid received Шаблон:Convert, forcing residents to cut holes in rooftops to reach safety. Nine people died.[25]
- May 2, 1979, an F4 tornado Шаблон:Convert away from the Enid city center killed one person, injured 25 people and caused between $500,000 and $5,000,000 in damages.[26][27]
- April 25, 2009, an EF-2 tornado damaged the Chisholm Trail Expo Center. No one was injured or killed.[28]

Political affiliation
Enid has been predominantly a Republican stronghold since its days as part of Oklahoma Territory, owing to the influence of settlers from neighboring Kansas.[30][31] Enid was named one of the top 10 most conservative cities in America in 2021 with over 60% of voters registering as Republicans.[32][33] Several politicians have called Enid home, including Oklahoma Territory's last governor Frank Frantz; U.S. Representative Page Belcher; US Congressman and former Enid mayor, Milton C. Garber; Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Todd Lamb; U.S. Representative George H. Wilson; and James Yancy Callahan, the only non-Republican territorial congressional delegate. In 2023 Enid elected a former organizer for Identity Evropa who was at the 2017 Charlottesville Unite the Right rally to its city commission.[34][35][36][37][38][39]
Religious affiliation
Of the people in Enid, 61.9% claim affiliation with a religious congregation;[40] 9.4% are Catholic, 39.2% are Protestant, 1.1% are Latter Day Saints and 12.2% are another Christian denomination.[41] By 1987, there were 90 churches of 27 different denominations of Christianity.[41][42] Downtown Enid boasted the world's largest fresh cut Christmas tree in 2021 and 2022, which was placed downtown in time for the annual Enid Lights Up the Plains festival.[43][44]
Enid's Phillips University, although formally affiliated with the Disciples of Christ, was a product of religious collaboration between followers of the Disciples of Christ, Presbyterian Church, and Judaism.[45] Although Phillips University has closed, Enid still has a number of private Christian schools, including St. Paul's Lutheran School, Oklahoma Bible Academy, St. Joseph Catholic School, and Emmannuel Christian School.[46]
Enid has two Catholic congregations: St. Francis Xavier, founded in 1893, and St. Gregory, founded in 1971.[47] St. Francis Xavier's Bishop Theophile Meerschaert was responsible for founding Calvary Catholic Cemetery in 1898.[48] Enid is home to several Protestant churches. It has four Lutheran congregations: Immanuel, founded in 1899, Trinity, founded in 1901, St. Paul, founded in 1909, and Redeemer, founded in 1934.[49] Enid has several historically Black churches, including St. Stephen African Methodist Episcopal Church, First Missionary Baptist Church, and West Side Church of God in Christ (COGIC).[50] The Southern Heights Ministerial Alliance brings local Black clergy together.[50] Enid has two churches serving its Korean population, the Enid Korean Church of Grace[51] and Peace United Methodist.[52] Iglesia Cristiana El Shaddai, a Disciples of Christ congregation founded in 2001, serves the area Hispanic community.[53] Enid Faith Ways Church is LGBTQ friendly.[53][54]
Enid also has a small Bahá’í congregation that often meets in congregants' homes and serves some of Enid's Marshallese population.[55]
Historically, between 1925 and 1930[56] Enid was home to a small Jewish congregation called Emanuel, which met at the Loewen Hotel,[57] founded by Al Loewen, a local merchant who also served on the committee to create Phillips University.[45] Lacking a synagogue building members of the Jewish community have held services at Convention Hall[58] and local Masonic Temples,[59] [60] or by traveling to synagogues in other cities.[61] The Enid Cemetery also has a Jewish section where many of early Enid's Jewish merchants are interred,[62] including the founders of Kaufman's Style Shop, Herzberg's Department Store, Newman Mercantile,[63] and Meibergen and Godschalk, Enid's first clothing store.[64] During the Oklahoma territorial era, Enid elected Jewish resident Joseph Meibergen in 1897 as mayor.[56] Enid was home to the Northwest Oklahoma chapter of the B'nai B'rith founded in 1926,[65][66] the Enid Jewish Women's Council met in the 1930s and 1940s,[67][68] and the Enid Jewish Chautauqua held programs as early as 1910.[69]
Enid is the home of two Masonic Lodges, the Enid Lodge #80 and the Garfield Lodge #501. The Enid Lodge has many Jewish members.[70]
Marshallese population
In 2014 Enid was the city with the fourth largest Marshallese population in the United States.[71]
A push factor from the Marshall Islands was nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll.[72] Missionaries from Phillips University visited the Marshall Islands,[71] and Marshallese students at Phillips were among the first settlers from the island country. There were also significant numbers who worked at food plants from Advance Foods, now Tyson Foods.[73] There were others who worked at Walmart. The Compact of Free Association allowed Marshallese to begin moving to Enid sometime circa 1987. In 2022 there were 2,800 Marshallese in Enid.[74]
Initially Enid's Marshallese were younger. By the 21st century many elderly Marshallese came for medical care, and many of them died at younger ages than other elderly people due to health problems stemming from fallout from the nuclear tests and from poor diets;[72] the nuclear tests made traditional Marshallese food inaccessible due to radiation, so U.S. junk food rations became a major element in the Marshallese diet. Additionally, since 1996, Marshallese citizens were unable to get health programs offered by the federal government due to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act changing relevant laws. The Oklahoma government has the ability to allow Marshallese citizens in its state borders to get access to these federal health programs, but it chooses not to do so.[75]
It is common for Marshallese in Enid to frequently change residences. As many Marshallese have not obtained U.S. citizenship, they lack power in governance. Business ownership and management are not common among Marshallese in Enid.[72]
In 2014 there were 381 students in Enid Public Schools who were Marshallese in English language learner programs, and two of the elementary schools had at least 25% of their total students being Marshallese ELL students. The district, in 2017, had two liaisons meant for the Marshallese population.[71] In 2017, 200 of the students at Enid High School were Marshallese,[76] and by 2014 the school had a student club where Marshallese students taught the overall student population about their culture. Longfellow Middle School also had such a club.[71]
The Marshallese United Church of Christ is in Enid.[74]
African-American population
The neighborhoods of Southern Heights and East Park are historically Black neighborhoods in Enid.[77] African-Americans have lived in Enid since the time of the September 1893 Land Run.[77] Members of the Black community soon founded two Baptist churches in 1893, Grayson Missionary Baptist Church, and the First Baptist Church.[77] St. Stephen's African Methodist Episcopal Church would follow in 1909.[77] In 1996 Enid's First Missionary Baptist Church burned down in a fire during a spate of hate crimes across the American South.[78] The community came together and rebuilt the church.[79] The area near Government Springs Park became an area of Black settlement, coalescing beside these nearby institutions of community life.[77] Prominent citizens of the Black community in early Enid included attorney Devotion Banks, Reverend Louis Johnson, Doctor Ollie Penny, Reverend Moses Ireland, and Reverend William Humphrey.[77] Many Black citizens belonged to the Knights of Pythias fraternal organization.[77]
Booker T. Washington school was founded in 1896 with a brick school house erected in 1901.[77] The school provided elementary through high school education for Black residents.[80] Washington school was joined by Douglas elementary from 1918 to 1920 and George Washington Carver elementary in 1949.[80] Having previously denied access to Black university students,[81] Phillips University changed its policies after the Brown v. Board of Education ruling.[82][83][84] In 1947 despite having no Black classmates, students at Phillips formed a chapter of the NAACP.[85] The first instance of integration in Enid’s public school system occurred in June 1955 when two Black high school students, Leonard Harrison and Ralph Ballard, attended summer school at Emerson Junior High.[86] Enid High School accepted its first Black students in the fall semester of 1955.[87] Enid's public schools were not fully integrated until 1969 when Enid closed the elementary schools in the Southern Heights neighborhood and children were bussed to other schools.[88][80] Citing economics and no foreign language education, the Enid School Board closed Booker T. Washington in 1960, and its 43 students were integrated into the wider school system.[89] Despite strides forward in integrating local educational institutions, local restaurants and drug store lunch counters refused service to Black citizens.[90] In 1958 the Black community organized sit-ins[91] and held meetings between the Enid Negro Chamber of Commerce and the Enid Restauranteurs Association,[92][93] but the effort failed.[94] The restaurant owners used laws against loitering as grounds to notify police.[95] Another sit-in occurred in May 1963[96] prior to the passage of the Civil Rights Act which integrated restaurants nationwide.[97]
Another historically Black neighborhood nicknamed "Two Street" existed between South Second Street and South Grand Avenue near the Rock Island railroad tracks.[98][77] The area was considered a Red Light district with gambling halls, saloons, and brothels.[77] Despite statewide alcohol prohibition in Oklahoma, liquor sales were rampant across town.[99][100] On July 31, 1917 Judge John C. Moore ordered that residents be evicted and the buildings condemned.[101][98][102] Enid appointed its first Black policeman, Henry Backstrom, in the 1920s.[103] Mr. Backstrom had previously served as principal of the Washington school for 11 years.[104] Backstrom was acquitted after killing Fred Williams, a Black resident of Two Street, in the line of duty.[105] He continued to serve for six years before studying at Langston University, and returning to the education field.[106] Former Deputy Sheriff Lon Crosslin[107] was injured during a gunfight while attempting to prevent a jewelry store robbery.[108] Crosslin killed the two Black suspects, but the Klan justified collective punishment of the residents in retaliation for Crosslin's injury,[109] issuing orders for residents of the Two Street district to leave Garfield County.[110] Local police refused to protect Black residents and ordered them to obey the Klan.[108] On October 26, 1921 a portion of Enid's Black population was driven out by the Klan.[111] An estimated 1,000 members of the Klan held a car parade at midnight,[109] and nearly two dozen Black citizens left town.[108] Local Reverend A.G. Smith,[112] Mayor William H. Ryan,[108][113] former Deputy Sheriff Lon Crosslin,[114] and the Enid Daily Eagle editorial staff praised the action.[115] The mayor routinely received death threats for his public support of the action.[116] Some Black residents resisted, returning to town only to met by threats from the Klan.[117] By 1922 at least ten former residents of the neighborhood had moved to the neighborhood by Government Springs Park.[118] The Klan held additional parades through downtown Enid in 1922[119][120] and 1924.[121] At least two Black men were tarred and feathered in separate incidents by the Klan in Enid in the 1920s, including Ed Warner and Walter O'Banion.[122] There were additional reports of Klan activity in Enid in 1979 and 1985.[123][124]
Enid's chapter of the NAACP was founded in 1941 by local educator Lewis J. Umstead who served as its president until 1952.[125][126][127] The group organized a freedom rally in 1963.[128] The NAACP has held multiple Oklahoma state conventions in Enid.[129][130][131] Enid has named streets for notable Black citizens, including opera singer Leona Mitchell in 1981[132] and professional athlete Lydell Carr in 2023.[133] In 1990 Enid named its municipal building for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and in 1991 a monument bearing a quote from his "I have a dream" speech was erected on the property.[134][135] An annual march is held in Enid honoring Dr. King.[134] In 2020 residents of Enid participated in protests for Black Lives Matter.[136]
Economy
When Enid participated in the City Beautiful movement in the 1920s,[137] Frank Iddings wrote the city song, "Enid, The City Beautiful". "You're right in the center where the best wheat grows and you've got your share of the oil that flows," his lyrics read.[138] These were the early staples of the Enid economy. Enid's economy saw oil booms and agricultural growth in the first half of the 20th century.[8] The Great Depression, however, caused both of these staples to lose value, and many businesses in Enid closed.[8] However, Enid recovered, prospering and growing in population until a second wave of bad economic times hit in the 1980s, when competition with the local mall and economic factors led Enid's downtown area to suffer.[139] Since 1994,[140] Enid's Main Street program has worked to refurbish historic buildings, boost the local economy, and initiate local events such as first Friday concerts and holiday celebrations on the town square.[141]

Water Pipeline to Enid from Kaw Lake
In 2020 the city of Enid began a multi-million dollar project to lay 70 miles of pipeline to transport 10 million gallons of water a day from Kaw Lake to a booster pump station in Enid. The pipeline is expected to provide a water to the city of Enid for the next 40–50 years. The city of Enid received $205 million in funding from the state of Oklahoma on December 15, 2020, as part of its water pipeline project, the city's most expensive project ever.[144] On February 28, 2021, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced their approval of a National Environmental Policy Act Environmental Assessment led by the City of Enid and Garver for the Enid Kaw Lake Water Supply Program. The USACE's Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) means that the program has taken a significant step toward construction set to begin in the first half of 2021.[145] On June 3, 2021, the project's construction manager at-risk announced that construction had officially begun at the lake's intake facility in Osage County where work has begun on the vertical intake shaft, which then will micro-tunnel into the lake to gain access. The project's design engineering firm also announced that nearly all the necessary land also has been acquired for the 70-mile pipeline with 223 parcels of land accepted of the 230 total land parcels needed for the pipeline portion of the project.[146]
Arts and culture
Enid is home to the annual Tri-State Music Festival which was started in 1932 by Russell L. Wiley, who was Phillips University band director from 1928 to 1934. From 1933 to 1936, Edwin Franko Goldman headlined the festival.[147] The festival takes place each spring in Enid.

The Enid Daily Wave (later the Enid Morning News) began on December 11, 1893. In February 1923, the papers were combined to form the Enid Publishing Company.[167]
Enid once had two local broadcast television stations. Public-access television station, PEGASYS, was founded in 1986.[168] PEGASYS broadcast on cable channels 11 and 12, and 19. PEGASYS was managed by a non-profit, and aired largely volunteer produced community programming.[168] In 2014 the city of Enid renamed it the Enid Television Network (ETN) and upgraded its broadcast equipment.[169][170] On December 31, 2019, ETN ceased its cable television broadcasts and transitioned to online streaming.[171]
KXOK-LD, which briefly locally produced programming from Oakwood Mall in the early 2000s,[172][173] is currently a Retro TV affiliate.
Historically, Enid was home to television station KGEO, an ABC affiliate from July 2, 1954, to 1958 when it moved its transmitter to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The station is now KOCO-TV.
KQOB 96.9 FM broadcasts in a classic hits format. Stations KNID 107.1 FM and KOFM 103.1 FM specialize in country music. KKRD 91.1 FM and K226BR 93.1 FM are devoted to religious content. KCRC 1390 AM broadcast sports games. KGWA 960 AM and KZLS 1640 AM is a talk radio station, and KXLS 95.7 FM plays various musical genres.[174]
Infrastructure
Healthcare
Enid has a number of medical clinics and two hospitals. INTEGRIS Bass Baptist Health Center has 207 beds throughout its three facilities.[175] Bass is the oldest hospital in Enid, founded in 1910, and incorporated in 1914 as Enid General Hospital and Training School for Nurses.[176] St. Mary's Regional Medical Center, a 245-bed facility with 127 licensed professionals, was established in 1915 as Enid Springs Sanatorium.[177] Both Enid hospitals are affiliated with the Oklahoma Hospital Association, and their CEOs are FACHE certified.[178] Clinics include the Garfield County Health Department, and Veterans Affairs Clinic.[179] Vance Air Force Base Clinic is operated by the 71st Medical Group which consists of the 71st Medical Operations and Support Squadrons.[180]
Transportation
The main highways serving the City of Enid are U.S. Highway 81 Van Buren and U.S. Highway 412 Owen K. Garriott. U.S. Highway 64 runs west down Garriott and U.S. Highway 60 runs east. Both of these highways join together with highway 81 in North Enid, Oklahoma. State Highway 45 also runs through North Enid on Carrier Road.[181]
Railroad development in Garfield County began four years prior to the land opening, and Enid became a central hub within the county, with rail systems running in ten directions.[182] Historical railroads included Enid and Tonkawa Railway, Enid and Anadarko Railway, Blackwell, Enid and Southwestern Railway, Enid Central Railway and the Denver, Enid and Gulf Railroad. Enid's railroad history is displayed at the Railroad Museum of Oklahoma which is housed in the former Santa Fe railroad Depot. The Rock Island Depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Active railroad operations in Enid are Farmrail (FMRC) / Grainbelt Corporation (GNBC), BNSF Railway, and Union Pacific Railroad (UP). In the past Atchison, Topeka & Santa (ATSF), Burlington Northern (BN), Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific (CRIP), Missouri-Kansas-Texas (MKT), North Central Oklahoma and Saint Louis San Francisco "Frisco" (SLSF) connected Enid to the rest of Oklahoma by rail. Currently, BNSF has given Site Certification to the Easterly Industrial Park three miles east of the City, meaning the railroad has identified the location as an optimal rail-served site meeting ten economic development criteria, intended to minimize development risks customers may face.[183]
From 1907 to 1929, Enid also had its own streetcar system, operated by Enid City Railway. The street cars were later replaced by buses, following a declaration by the Enid government that made streetcars illegal.[184]
Since 1984, the Transit, operated by Enid Public Transportation, has been in operation, providing on-demand shuttle services. The Transit also offers service to Oklahoma City's Will Rogers Airport, Greyhound Bus Service, and Amtrak Train Station.[185]
Airports
- Enid Woodring Regional Airport (KWDG) (1167 feet above mean sea level) is located four miles (6 km) southeast of Enid at 36 degrees 22.75 north latitude and 97 degrees 47.47 west longitude. This Class D facility has a Шаблон:Convert primary runway and a 3149 secondary runway. There is no scheduled air service.
- Will Rogers World Airport offers commercial air transportation, about 89 miles to the south.[186]
- Vance Air Force Base (KEND) (1,307 feet above mean sea level) is located four miles (6 km) south of the city at 36 degrees 20.21 north latitude and 97 degrees 54.59 west longitude. It was founded in 1941 on land leased by the city of Enid to the United States Army Air Forces, now the United States Air Force. Vance also uses the KWDG facility for military training flights. Since its establishment the base, named after Lt. Col Leon Robert Vance, Jr., has been a major employer in the area.[8]
Utilities
Enid's electricity is provided by Oklahoma Gas & Electric and natural gas by Oklahoma Natural Gas Company. The City of Enid provides water, wastewater, and trash collection services.[187] Internet, television, and telephone providers include Suddenlink Communications, Pioneer Telephone, and AT&T.
Notable people
Enid's Frank Frantz was the seventh and final Oklahoma Territorial Governor. Enid has been home to several successful entrepreneurs from oilman Herbert Champlin to casino owner, Sam Boyd, founder of the Boyd Gaming Corporation. The arts have also flourished among Enid natives, from Native American painter Paladine Roye to Pulitzer Prize winning author Marquis James. Three Oklahoma State Poets Laureate, Betty Lou Shipley,[188] Bess Truitt and Carol Hamilton, grew up in Enid.[189][190] In 1937 the Enid Morning News referred to Don Blanding as the poet laureate of Enid, Oklahoma,[191] and later he was dubbed the Poet Laureate of Hawaii[192] and Honolulu.[193] The local Don Blanding Poetry Society is named after him.[194] Poets Quraysh Ali Lansana, J. Quinn Brisben, Louis Jenkins, and D.L. Lang also once called Enid home.
Actors Richard Erdman, Glenda Farrell, Lynn Herring, and Thad Luckinbill were all born in Enid, as was Emmy Award winning director, Sharron Miller. Many musicians have called Enid home, including violinist Kyle Dillingham, jazz great Sam Rivers, jazz pianist Pat Moran McCoy, folk singer and banjoist Karen Dalton, fingerstyle guitarist Michael Hedges and opera singer Leona Mitchell, with the last two having streets in Enid bearing their names. Mitchell's brother, Hulon Mitchell Jr (Yahweh Ben Yahweh) was the founder of the religious group, Nation of Yahweh.[195] Attorney Stephen Jones defended Timothy McVeigh after the Oklahoma City bombing.
A number of military heroes have also come from Enid, including former US Army Special Forces operator Bo Gritz, Medal of Honor recipient Harold Kiner, and Pearl Harbor hero USAF General Kenneth M. Taylor. Enid has a history of aviation professionals from aviation pioneer Clyde Cessna, founder of the Cessna Aircraft Company, to Irving Woodring, one of the Army's Three Musketeers of Aviation. Cessna's pioneering flights earned him the nickname the "Birdman of Enid". One of Enid's main streets is named after Astronaut Owen K. Garriott, and Enid's air force base is named for Medal of Honor recipient Leon Vance. Mark Kelly, bass player of the Christian rock band Petra calls Enid home. Former White House photojournalist David Scott Holloway, recipient of the Getty Grant and photographer for Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown on CNN was born in Enid, attending Longfellow Jr. High School, before his family moved near Waukomis where he attended Pioneer Pleasantvale High School.[196]
Even some fictional characters hold Enid as their home town, including Paul and Amanda Kirby (portrayed by William Macy and Téa Leoni) in Jurassic Park III, Maggie Gyllenhaal's character, journalist Jean Craddock, in Crazy Heart,[197] and in The Rifleman, Lucas McCain and his son Mark lived in Enid before settling in North Fork, New Mexico Territory.[198]
Some even claim two figures from the Abraham Lincoln assassination lived and died in Enid. In 1901, Osborn H. Oldroyd wrote The Assassination of Abraham Lincoln Flight, Pursuit (sic), Capture, and Punishment of the Conspirators which claimed that Sgt. Boston Corbett, the man who killed John Wilkes Booth in Virginia, resided in Enid, employed as a medicine salesman.[199][200] Local legend holds that Corbett is buried in one of the unmarked graves in the Enid Cemetery.[201] In 1907, Finis L. Bates wrote The Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth.[202] The book claimed that David E. George, a tenant at the Grand Avenue Hotel who committed suicide by poison in 1903, was actually John Wilkes Booth. After sitting for years in Penniman's Funeral Home, George's mummified body later toured the carnival circuit.[203] The 1937 short film The Man in the Barn by Jacques Tourneur revisits the story of David E. George as Booth.[204]
In popular culture
In 2019, the Oklahoma State Chamber of Commerce ranked Enid as "The best Oklahoma city in which to live."[205]
Enid was ranked the 28th best place in the US to raise a family in a 1998 Reader's Digest poll.[206] and in the March 2004 issue of Inc. listed as one of the top 25 small cities in the US for doing business.[207] Good Morning America listed Enid as one of its top five up and coming areas in a January 2006 episode.[208]
Hollywood has come to Enid, shooting scenes from Dillinger in front of the Mark Price Arena and the Grand Saloon, the 1955 short film Holiday for Bands features Enid's Tri-State Music Festival,[209] and portions of the film The Killer Inside Me were filmed in Enid's downtown square.[210] The 2018 film Wildlife was also partially filmed in Enid.[211]
According to television, Enid has been the site of hauntings and exorcisms as[212] Ghost Lab featured Enid as part of an investigation of sites claimed to be haunted by John Wilkes Booth, and A Current Affair in a segment on expensive religious exorcisms.
Enid is also mentioned in passing in a few popular novels and films. In chapter 12 of The Grapes of Wrath, Enid is one of the towns that feeds into Route 66 from the north via Route 64.[213]
In the CBS series The Big Bang Theory,[214] character Sheldon Cooper contemplates moving to Enid because of its "low crime rate" and "high speed internet" service, but decides against it because the city lacks a model railroad store.'[215]
In the FX series The Americans FBI agent Stan Beeman plans to relocate a family of Soviet defectors to Enid.[216]
