Eagle City

Oklahoma's ghost towns got it from both sides — oil booms that built them overnight and the Dust Bowl that emptied them.

Eagle City is a census designated place located along and west of State Highway 58 in western Blaine County, Oklahoma, United States. As of the 2020 census, Eagle City had a population of 40. Established on the Frisco Line before statehood, the post office which opened July 26, 1902 was named Dillon. The name was changed to Eagle City September 4, 1909. The ZIP Code is 73658. The nearest post office is now in Oakwood.

Calling it Eagle City was either optimism or a very good joke — boomtowns were never modest about their ambitions.

The on-the-ground condition of Eagle City is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
