Midwest City: A Community Built Around Tinker Air Force Base
Midwest City was founded in 1942 by developer W.P. Bill Atkinson specifically to house workers at the newly established Tinker Army Air Field. The city was planned on a curvilinear street pattern influenced by the Radburn, New Jersey model, with cul-de-sacs and parkland interspersed through residential blocks. It was one of the first master-planned defense housing communities in the country.
Tinker Air Force Base, which sits on roughly 5,000 acres straddling the city's southern edge, is the largest single-site employer in Oklahoma with more than 26,000 personnel. The Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex at Tinker provides maintenance and overhaul for B-1, B-52, KC-135, and E-3 aircraft along with numerous engines and weapons systems. The base is home to the 552nd Air Control Wing, which operates AWACS aircraft.
The Rose State College campus opened in 1970 and enrolls around 7,000 students, making it a significant community college in the state. The Reed Conference Center at the college hosts regional events. Downtown redevelopment along Mid-America Boulevard has added a 20th Century Theatre and pedestrian improvements over the past decade.
