About Stockyards City Main Street
Almost forty years ago, a group of concerned citizens banded together to increase awareness and preserve the historic buildings and culture of Stockyards City. Realizing that a number of historic buildings in surrounding communities, including Oklahoma City, were being demolished, these visionaries sought to maintain the original western and agricultural flavor of the area and promote the economic vitality of the livestock, retail and commercial industries in Stockyards City. Stockyards City Main Street, a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization and the first urban Main Street in Oklahoma, was formed twenty-five years ago and continues to carry on the legacy of the original leaders by representing more than 60 local businesses, two separate shelters, a fire station, one of the oldest continuously operating libraries in Oklahoma City, an F.O.P lodge, a music school and a young residential community with an elementary school within a half mile of the district’s east end. Our mission is to educate the
public about our western heritage while preserving our history by creating a welcoming and active tourist destination area and promoting economic vitality and business success.
