Duncan, Oklahoma defines the wild, wild west and it is no surprise why it is such a hotbed today for tourism and business. The wild, wild west sure lives up to its name!

Originally a small trading post at the intersection of the old Chisholm Trail cattle road and the military passage between Fort Arbuckle and Fort Sill, Duncan has seen and participated in every phase of Oklahoma's exciting history.

Everything started with William Duncan, a Scotsman who brought his wife, parents, and other relatives to this area after learning that the Rock Island Railroad was extending its lines from Kansas to Texas. He built a store to serve the passengers that would be coming through, as did other settlers. By the time the first train arrived on June 27, 1892, Duncan (named after its founder) had become a new town on the western skirts of the growing nation.

Duncan's past is full of stories of adventure and innovation, and our future will be no different. With great companies like Halliburton, Family Dollar, and Valco Manufacturing leading the charge, Duncan is making good on keeping our town a leader into the 21st century. Visit the Duncan Chamber of Commerce for more information.
