Guymon‘s Cultural Downtown District showcases our communities rich history, diversity and culture. Originally, a small railroad town first settled in 1901 by pioneer farmers and ranchers. Guymon is home to Hall of Fame Cowboys and multi-talented artist and continues to flourish into the diverse multiethnic community you see today. Our downtown district features shops, boutiques, salons, art studios and when it is time to eat, you will find savory dining options just around corner.


Just outside the downtown District is the award winning USGA rated Sunset Hills golf course adjacent to our fish stocked Sunset Lake with its breathtaking dust skies in a variety of family friendly facilities and the 300 acre game reserved for bison elk and Longhorns.

History of Guymon

Guymon, also known as "No Man's Land", was once a flat prairie land with no law and few settlers in the Oklahoma Panhandle. In 1890, the organic act was signed and the narrow piece of land was joined with Indian territory to form Oklahoma territory, which later became the state of Oklahoma.First incorporated in 1901, Guymon, was built on the dreams & visions of men like Edward T. Guymon, William E. Moses, Taddy O. James & Richard B. Quinn, who saw promise in the flat desolate lands and began to establish new enterprises along the Rock Island Railroad while it was still under construction in the 1890s. Originally named Sanford, the town was renamed to Guymon after Edward T. Guymon as to eliminate confusion for the postal service with the near by town of Stratford, Texas.


Today, Guymon sits on Highway 54 and has an estimated population of 14,000 people. It is home to dozens of local restaurants, shops and markets and just a short drive to No Man's Land Museum in Goodwell, OK and Golden Mesa Casino.
