About Woodward

Established in 1887 at the junction of the Fort Reno Military Road and the Southern Kansas Railway on the south bank of the North Canadian River, the city of Woodward is situated almost 2 hours northwest of Oklahoma City and has grown to a population of 12,000 residents. Spurred into further development by the Great Western Cattle Trail that crossed over Woodward, the city has grown around the Southern Plains Range Research Station. Residents of a Woodward house or apartment for rent appreciate the area’s isolation that provides a unique escape from the typical Oklahoman lifestyle. A direct rail service provides limited scheduled service into the state’s capitol for those residents looking to commute although most residents work locally.

Known for its avid golfing community, Woodward hosts 2 expansive courses in Boiling Springs Golf Course and Woodward Golf Course. Residents of an apartment or home for rent in Woodward are also fortunate to have the Woodward Regional Hospital nearby. Local attractions include Hackamore Oklahoma Outdoor Experience, Woodward Arts Theatre, and the Plains Indians & Pioneers Museum. Many residents also look forward to the Woodward Elks Rodeo, Hometown Festival, Farm Expo, Fall-A-Days, Crystal Christmas, 101 Classic Bowl, and Woodward County Fair, all of which are held annually in Woodward.
