Wichita
Falls is located in north central Texas. It is also
in the middle of the continental U.S. - it is located
within ten miles of the East-West centerline of the
United States! Wichita Falls is linked to other major
cities by I-44, US Highways 82, 281, 277, 287, and
Texas State Route 79. Wichita Falls is about 2 hours
from the Dallas/Ft.Worth metroplex, 15 miles from
the Red River (which marks the border of Oklahoma
and Texas) and 2 hours from Oklahoma City. The city
is located in the cross timbers area of the gently
rolling north-central plains and is dissected by the
Wichita River.
In the 2000 census, Wichita Falls population was 104,197
- an 8% increase since 1990. There are more than 34,000
households and 22,000 families living in Wichita Falls
with an average household size of 2.43.
Wichita Falls has a proud history dating back to the
early 1700's when the Wichita Indians migrated to
the Red River area. The name Wichita is derived from
the Choctaw word "wia chitoh" meaning "big
arbor," a description of the grass-thatched arbors
in the Wichitas' village. During the late 1700's,
Comanches and Apaches also lived in the area. All
three tribes remained in the area until the 1830's.
The city gained its name from a Wichita Indian encampment
near a small waterfall along the Wichita River.
Oats, wheat, and cotton crops were plentiful and drove
the City's economy during the early 1900's. World
War I brought with it a drought, an Army aviation
training facility, and "black gold." The
Fowler No. 1 well in Burkburnett became the area's
first deep-well strike, and in 1919 the 4,000 feet
wide and three-mile long pool produced more than 3
million barrels of oil. With 40% of the state's petroleum
production coming from Wichita County, the population
grew to 40,079 by 1940. In 1945 Sheppard Field Training
Center had 46,650 men and was the largest concentration
of air troops in the world. Nicknamed the "Factory
City," Wichita Falls had over 100 manufacturing
companies in the 1950's.
Wichita Falls is home to Midwestern State University
(MSU), a fully accredited four-year university with
6,000 students, MSU has over 200 full-time faculty
members. The University offers baccalaureate degrees
in 60 academic disciplines, masters degrees in 18
fields, and a variety of pre-professional degrees.
Over 100 organizations, including 12 nationally affiliated
sororities and fraternities, share the 170 acre MSU
campus located in the heart of Wichita Falls.
