Warwick, Lincoln County, Oklahoma

Warwick, Oklahoma resides in Lincoln county and is a small rural community with a Hurst Park, built by the Hurst families, in the middle of town.

The reasons Warwick fascinates me is because Warwick is one of my surnames. BUT. . . after visiting and searching the Oklahoma Historical Society for information concerning Warwick, Oklahoma, I found that Warwick was named after the country in England and NOT after one of my ancestors.

On the westside of Warwick you make a north turn off of Route 66. It follows a 25-mph road along a creek on a worn blacktop road through the trees and across a railroad track into a residential area hidden amongst the trees. All that remained when I first researched Warwick, Oklahoma a few years were a few residences, empty businesses and the Warwick school building built by WPA back in the 1940s and consolidated with Wellston in 1968.

On the east end of Warwick on Route 66 you pass under a railroad bridge and come to a brick business building with hints of Route 66 history printed on it's exterior.

I am not sure what the population of Warwick is today, but the population of Warwick a few years ago was approximately 160. The approximate number of families was 75. The amount of land area in Warwick is 7.099 sq. kilometers. The distance from Warwick to Washington DC is 1155 statute miles. The distance to the Oklahoma state capital is 32 statute miles. (Statute miles are "as the crow flies") Warwick is positioned 35.68 degrees north of the equator and 96.99 degrees west of the prime meridian.

I have placed more history of Lincoln County and Warwick, Oklahoma on my OkieLegacy web site for your information of this small, rural community Southeastern of Wellston and west of Chandler, Oklahoma.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
