Gene Autry is a town in Carter County, Oklahoma, United States.

The name was changed to "Berwyn" on September 1, 1887, after Berwyn, Pennsylvania, making the Oklahoma town one of several along the Santa Fe railroad line through the Territory (re)named for stations on the "Main Line" of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Finally, on November 16, 1941, it was renamed "Gene Autry" to honor the singer and motion picture star.

[7] In 1939 he bought the 1,200-acre (4.9 km2) Flying A Ranch on the west edge of Berwyn, and the town decided to honor him by changing its name.

Approximately 35,000 people attended the ceremonies broadcast live from the site on Autry's Melody Ranch radio show.

Expectations that Autry would make his permanent home on the ranch were heightened when Autry’s house in California burned down just eight days before the name change ceremony, but were dashed 21 days after the ceremony with the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The town's area has expanded significantly to the north of its original location since the 2000 census, when it was 0.3 square miles (0.78 km2), all land.

The Washita River cuts across the northeast corner of the town, flowing southeast toward Lake Texoma on the Texas border.
