Choctaw's location in the Oklahoma City Metro Area provides its residents and businesses with access to a region of one million plus people. Choctaw... is the open door... to job and business opportunities, a large labor force, a wide selection of cultural, recreational and educational opportunities and close proximity to a major airport. These amenities are available to Choctaw due to its location in eastern Oklahoma County.
The very name conveys thoughts of pioneers and native Americans. Indeed, it is from the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889 that Choctaw began. Choctaw is the oldest chartered town in Oklahoma. Choctaw physically became a community in 1890, but was not given actual status as a town until 1893 when a territorial governor was appointed for Oklahoma. It officially celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1993.
Choctaw is the third fastest growing community in the Oklahoma City Metro area. The City encompasses over twenty-seven (27) square miles and its population has more than tripled since 1970 to its current level of approximately 10,000. Choctaw residents are relatively young (average age is 33.4 years) with income and educational levels considerably higher than Oklahoma County and surrounding communities.
