The Oklahoma Land Run of 1889 planted the seeds for many cities and towns near Oklahoma City, including Mustang. The western suburb was a sleepy outpost until the mid-20th century, when its population surged as transportation improvements drove more people to the area. Today, about 23,000 people call Mustang home. Because it’s so close to Yukon, another modest-sized suburb, locals often refer to them collectively as Yukon-Mustang. “Mustang’s an emerging suburb with a lot of new construction,” says Ben Freeman, Realtor with Chamberlain Realty and host of "Oklahoma City Life" on YouTube. “Yukon’s a bit more hectic because it’s been around longer. Mustang has kind of become Yukon 2.0, in that it has that slower pace that people were originally looking for in Yukon.” A highly ranked and fast-growing school district is a top draw for families. Historically renowned as an agricultural haven, Mustang is also known for its berry farms and farmers markets.

Mustang High School is Canadian County’s largest
Mustang Public Schools earns an A-minus from Niche and has a reputation for rapid growth, adding about 1,000 new students per year. The sole high school in the district, Mustang High, is the largest in Canadian County. Depending on their address, some students might attend schools in the B-plus-rated Yukon Public Schools district. “You can be in southern parts of Yukon and be in Mustang schools, or in northern parts of Mustang where you might be in Yukon schools,” says Jonathan Knight, Realtor with eXp Realty and host of "Living in Oklahoma City" on YouTube.

Highway 152 hums with activity
Oklahoma State Highway 152 bisects the town from west to east before it sweeps north to connect with interstates 344 and 240. Mustang’s commercial activity is largely confined to the area around 152, where shopping plazas and retail outlets assemble in the central section of town. Regional chain restaurants make up the bulk of dining options, offering Mexican cuisine, barbecue and burgers in casual settings. More options await 18 miles away in Oklahoma City.
With limited public transportation, Mustang is a car-dependent town. Many residents commute to Oklahoma City for work, but local industries include agriculture and health care, with SSM Health St. Anthony Healthplex employing over 4,000 workers. Mustang also offers easy access to Will Rogers World Airport, 10 miles away.
Current improvement projects include paving and erosion control measures for major highways, including State Highway 152. A local engineering group is designing a waterline that should improve water infrastructure in the city’s western portion.
Western Days celebrate local history
The Mustang Historical Museum highlights the town’s beginnings with photos, heirlooms and artifacts dating to the time of the Oklahoma Land Run. The annual Western Days celebration, typically held at Wild Horse Park the first weekend after Labor Day, brings its theme to life with cowboy and cowgirl costume contests, live music, a chili cookoff and rodeo events.

Environmental factors and crime risk
Tornado watches and warnings are a regular occurrence in the Oklahoma City metro area. Because Mustang’s water supply is often blended with Oklahoma City’s, it’s common for residents to notice slight variances in the flavor and odor of their tap water. City officials acknowledge the issue and say the water is nevertheless safe.
According to FBI data, crime rates in Mustang trend low by state and national standards. Property-related offenses are reported at a higher rate than violent crimes, but the numbers are still below average for the area.
Mustang’s houses of worship
Several churches, some nondenominational, serve the Christian population in this Bible Belt city. First Baptist Mustang is an impressive brick building near Wild Horse Park and the central section of town. Other notable examples include Bridge Church and Holy Spirit Catholic Church.
