Over nine million cattle were herded along the Chisholm Trail passing through Duncan on their way to Texas and Kansas in the late 1800s. Moooove it!
Located in Stephens County, Oklahoma with a population of around 23,000 folks, Duncan is a town with a fairly rural feel -- the community stretches about 46 miles total! Only 90 minutes from the capital of Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, this town is known for its beautiful brick buildings. Why so many bricks? Wooden frame homes easily went up in smoke in a fire, and rebuilding at the beginning of the 20th Century included fire-resistant architecture.
Western Spirit: Living in the City
Now, who wants to go for a refreshing dip? You'll find pleasant lakes and streams nearby and a generally bucolic setting.

The Historical Museum in downtown Duncan allows visitors to explore displays from the early days of settlement in this part of Oklahoma. Duncan is a peaceful town with a nice mix of renters and homeowners.
