Del City: Post-War Suburb Between OKC and Tinker
Del City was incorporated in 1948, carved from unincorporated land between Oklahoma City and the growing Tinker Air Force Base. The city was named after Del, the daughter of developer George Epperly, whose subdivisions provided housing for thousands of base employees and their families. Growth followed the postwar pattern of ranch-style homes on quarter-acre lots across the grid of section-line roads.
The city covers about eight square miles entirely surrounded by Oklahoma City and the fence line of Tinker AFB. Del City schools operate within the Mid-Del School District, which also serves Midwest City. The Delfair neighborhood still preserves the early postwar architecture, while Sunnylane and Epperly Drive mark the original developer's subdivisions.
Del City borders the southern edge of Tinker Air Force Base, and the base's proximity drives the local economy through contractor employment and the 552nd Air Control Wing's AWACS operations overhead. The city has no downtown in the traditional sense; commercial activity clusters along Sunnylane Road and SE 29th Street.
