Wynnewood (/ˈwɪniwʊd/ WIH-nee-wood) is a city in Garvin County, Oklahoma, United States. It is 67 miles (108 km) south of Oklahoma City. The population was 1,927 at the time of the 2020 census.[4][5] Located in what was then the Chickasaw Nation of Indian Territory, it began as a village called "Walner" in 1886, on the proposed route of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway. Railroad workers from Pennsylvania named the community for Wynnewood, a community outside of Philadelphia. The name became official on April 6, 1887.[6]

History

At the time of its founding, Wynnewood was located in Pickens County, Chickasaw Nation.[7]

Eskridge Hotel (a museum since 1973), November 7, 2015

Wynnewood quickly became a market town for the surrounding area. In 1887, Presbyterian missionary Mary Semple Hotchkins moved her school for Chickasaw children from Cherokee Town[a] to Wynnewood. In 1901, local citizens paid for building Indianola College.[b] A promotional brochure published in 1907 called Wynnewood "the Queen City of the Famous Washita Valley." It could soon boast of having an opera house, electric lights, telephones, and the thirty-room Eskridge Hotel.[6]

The Eskridge Hotel continued in business until 1970, when it closed for good. In 1973, the Wynnewood Historical Society bought the three-story structure and converted it into a museum of local history. Hotel rooms have been decorated to depict life in Oklahoma during the late 19th century and early 20th century. In 1978, the former hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Garvin County, Oklahoma,[9] where it now resides along with Wynnewood’s Hargis-Mitchell-Cochran House and its Moore-Settle House.

Geography

Wynnewood is located in southeastern Garvin County. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.5 square miles (3.8 km2), all land.[5] The Washita River, a tributary of the Red River, runs just to the west of the city.

The community is at the junction of U.S. Highway 77 and State Highway 29, which links it to Interstate 35 to the west. US 71 leads northwest 9 miles (14 km) to Pauls Valley, the Garvin County seat, and south 10 miles (16 km) to Davis. Highway 29 leads west 3 miles (5 km) to Interstate 35 and east 11 miles (18 km) to U.S. Route 177.

Economy

For many years, the local economy was based on agriculture. Principal crops in the early 20th century included pecans, peaches, corn, wheat, oats, alfalfa, cotton and clover. A cottonseed oil company and four cotton gins supported the cotton industry.[6]

The local petroleum industry blossomed in Garvin County during the second decade of the 20th century. The Texas Pacific Coal and Oil Company built an oil refinery in Wynnewood during 1922–23. Kerr-McGee Company bought the refinery in 1950. By 1957, employment at the refinery was about equal to all other employment in the Wynnewood vicinity. The Gary-Williams Energy Corporation bought the facility in 1995.[6] In 2012, noted investor Carl Icahn announced that he had bought a controlling interest in CVR industries, which owned the 70,000 barrel per day refinery (BPD) at Wynnewood and a 115,000 BPD refinery at Coffeyville, Kansas.[11] The Wynnewood refinery was one of only five operating in Oklahoma as of 2015.[12]

Media

The Wynnewood Gazette began publication in 1906, and has continued into the 21st century.[6] The Gazette in 1979 reported a story in nearby Elmore City about whether to allow high school students there to dance at a graduation celebration in the face of a town ordinance prohibiting public dancing; this controversy was picked up by national papers and became the core idea behind the 1984 film Footloose.[13]

Other early newspapers were the Wynnewood Republic and the Wynnewood Times.[6]
