Back in 1900, in the years between the Land Run and Oklahoma
Statehood, Blanchard was created as a small farming community.
Today, Blanchard provides the best of country living with
the benefits of being just a few miles from Oklahoma's largest
cities.
Located in the rolling hills of McClain County, Blanchard
is just a 15 minute drive to Norman, the home of Oklahoma
University, and just 30 minutes away from Oklahoma City's
Will Rogers World Airport. Blanchard is close to everywhere
you need to be.
Blanchard's tree-lined, historic downtown offers unique shopping
and services while providing a friendly, outgoing meeting
place for locals and visitors alike.
With a population just over 8,000, Blanchard is a picture-perfect
bedroom community for people working in our larger neighboring
cities. Many of our residents own acreages, farms and ranches
while still being close to the hub of the city itself. Our
main special events, fairs, concerts, sporting events and
more keep our community close-knit and friendly.
