Enid is a quirky Oklahoma town that is supposedly named after a character in Alfred Lord Tennyson’s poem, Idylls of the King. “Enid the Fair” was quite beautiful – so much so that it inspired the man in charge of the railroad station at the time – then called Skeleton Station – to rename the station to Enid.
While others claim the name has something to do with cowboys and a practical joke involving reversing a chuck wagon sign that read “DINE,” the romantic story involving the fair and just heroine of a poem is the most widely accepted.
As the Wheat Capital of the United States, Enid has the largest grain storage capacity in the country – and the third largest in the world. The Enid Terminal Grain Elevators Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, contains grain elevators dating to the early 1900s.
