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.
