Oklahoma railroad town with healthy industrial roots
Named for a historic fort now on illustrious Route 66, El Reno is one of the westernmost towns in the Oklahoma City metro area. The city of 17,000 is also the seat of Canadian County, the fastest-growing county in the state. The upward trajectory began in the late 19th century, when railroad expansions brought hundreds of jobs to the area. Oil fields and manufacturing help the modern industrial landscape remain robust about 30 miles from Oklahoma City. “A lot of people who live here also work here,” says city planner Taylor Burt. “Most people don’t commute to the city, which is awesome.”
Many homes in El Reno were built in the early 20th century.

Crossroads of the Chisholm Trail and Route 66
El Reno sits at the crossroads of Interstate 40, U.S. Route 81 — the former Chisholm Trail — and Route 66. The Route 66 connection fuels a healthy tourism industry, creating multiple jobs in retail and hospitality. Oil drillers and operators maintain a strong presence, bolstered by numerous pipe manufacturers and supply companies. I-40 is the quickest option for the 30-mile drive to Oklahoma City and Will Rogers World Airport, the largest in the state.
The world famous Route 66 goes through downtown El Reno.

Home of the fried onion burger
"When I first got here, I said, 'This is the cutest little downtown I’ve ever seen,'” Burt says. “Little niche shops, boutiques, a coffee shop, a bakery — and they’re all locally owned.” The city’s signature dish is the fried onion hamburger, a staple of the downtown diner scene. During the Great Depression, local restauranteur Ross Davis added shredded onions to his beef patties to make the burgers appear bigger. The flavor-packed results made such an impact that El Reno now hosts a Fried Onion Burger Day Festival every May, with live entertainment, a car and motorcycle show, and, of course, a burger-eating contest. Other restaurants and shopping centers gather near the I-40 corridor south of downtown.

The median home price in El Reno is $195,000 — low even compared with Oklahoma City’s, which is already well below the national median.

Cozy bungalows start at $100,000 to $150,000, but plenty of new construction is priced in the $225,000 to $400,000 range.

El Reno crime rates and water concerns

Violent crime occurs at about half the rate of property-related incidents. The city has grappled with water treatment issues over the past few years.

Anyone who saw 2024’s “Twisters” watched El Reno’s water tower topple over as a tornado tore through town in the blockbuster sequel. While a real-life 2013 twister inspired the sequence,
