Strong City is a town in Roger Mills County, Oklahoma, United States.
[5] It was named for Clint Strong, a railroad official and entrepreneur instrumental in the town's organization.
[5] While Cheyenne, Oklahoma was originally designated as the county seat for Roger Mills County, construction of the nearest railroad into the area, the Clinton and Oklahoma Western Railway (“C&OW”) terminated in August 1912 at Strong City.
[6] Strong City also grew to become bigger than Cheyenne or any other town in the county, within a year of the railroad's arrival.
[6] However, extension of the C&OW to Cheyenne and eventually into the Texas Panhandle caused trade to shift to the west of the town.
[6] Today, Strong City is much smaller[5] and Cheyenne remains the county seat.
[8] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.5 square miles (1.3 km2), all land.
