Located in Blaine County's northeastern corner is a charming town with a strong sense of community. The downtown area's murals and public art displays showcase its colorful and unique personality. Several buildings are even on the National Register of Historic Places, including the historic and beautiful Roman Catholic Church.

The town's vibrant history started on April 19, 1892. A townsite company founded the town when the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indian lands became open for settlement. Over a round of drinks, the founders celebrated and came up with a suitable name. Taking the first two letters of Oklahoma and the last two of Cherokee, they settled on Okeene. Interestingly, the word used to be pronounced as three syllables.

Throughout its history, farming, cattle, and agriculture have driven the local economy. The farmland is rich and diverse, though wheat and hay are the most common crops. In the early twentieth century, industry was brought to the area with a brick plant and casket factory. Today, several manufacturers and many of its residents still thrive in the area. At 3 percent, the unemployment rate is half the U.S. average, and job growth is increasing. Okeene is undoubtedly a wonderful place to flourish and raise a family.

Despite its small population of fewer than 2,000 people, Okeene is full of life. There are plenty of places and activities for families and individuals alike. The Galvanized Palace is one of the many historic buildings. The local bar offers residents and travelers cold drinks and social events. Stop by for some fun on a karaoke night or Thirsty Thursday. You may even be lucky enough to catch a performance by a local musician. Head down to the Burger Station for a mouthwatering burger or Philly cheesesteak. Mimi's Café, a local favorite, is another excellent option for food and drink. The family-owned restaurant features pizza, burgers, pasta, and all-you-can-eat specials.

If you are looking for out-of-town activities, Okeene is a hop, skip, and a jump away from Watonga, where you can visit the Whirlwind Winery, Lucky Star Casino, and the Roman Nose State Park. The Gloss Mountain State Park in Fairview is also close if you want to enjoy the great outdoors. Spend the day under the sun, hiking and picnicking. Okeene is also known for its popular festivities. Many of the original farmers were of German descent, and residents proudly embrace their heritage with an annual, full-out celebration for Germanfest. However, their most infamous event is the Rattlesnake Roundup. In April, thousands of people visit to hunt down and capture these deadly reptiles.

Rattlesnakes are not Okeene's only pest to worry about. Among the American Alligators and Marbled Salamanders are roaches, bed bugs, rodents, and other pests that want to take over your home for themselves.
