About the City

Located along Interstate 40 approximately an hour west of Oklahoma City, Weatherford offers the quality of life of a smaller Oklahoma community with convenient access to the Oklahoma City metro. The city is home to Southwestern Oklahoma State University, giving Weatherford more activity, restaurants, athletics, and community events than its size might otherwise suggest. Weatherford offers a lower-key lifestyle with short commutes, outdoor recreation, and easy access to western Oklahoma while still keeping Oklahoma City's airport, professional sports, dining, and entertainment within driving distance.
