History of Enid, Oklahoma
Enid is home to Vance Air Force Base and
is said to have been named by a railroad
official after a character in Tennyson's
"The Idylls of the King." It is a town
that was born overnight as the result of
the largest land run in history. At noon
on Sept. 16, 1893, hundreds of thousands
of land seekers charged into the
Cherokee Outlet seeking free land and a
new start in life. They came on
horseback and in horse-drawn wagons and
buggies. Some rode trains into the
Outlet. There were even a few who made
the race on bicycles or on foot. Droves
of settlers lined up at the land office
that afternoon and for days afterwards
to file their claims for land in a place
to be called Enid.
