Boise City, Oklahoma, is a very unique subject for this week's small town, USA, video. It is the county seat of Cimarron County in the extreme western part of the Oklahoma panhandle. It's also home to over half of the county's entire population. This area was known as No Man's Land in the mid to late 1800's and attracted a rowdy group of settlers. It also suffered tremendously from the Dust Bowl in the 1930's. Through it all it has survived and has some very interesting places to visit! I had a lot of fun exploring Boise City!

Been to Boise City many times and I love it out there. In fact me and my grandpa just drove to every county seat in Oklahoma and alternated running a mile in each. I was fortunate to run in Boise City and it’s a neat little town.
-
Boise City, has an amazing history. It's existence was to be. Beautiful area and exciting area to enjoy spend ing time in. Thanks John for finding this area of great interest.
-
Great video! My wife and I drove through there two years ago when we moved to Oklahoma. I’ve wanted to go back to explore the area more and your video inspires me to make the effort. If you go through Guymon, stop at Naifeh’s Steak House. One of the best steaks I’ve had and the prices are very reasonable.
-
To think it has survived not only the dust bowl, but also a friendly fire bombing, sort of distinguishes this town from most. I absolutely love the light posts they have near the downtown. Keep the videos coming Coach!
-
The drone shot of the town circle is pretty cool.
-
That circle threw me off first time I drove through there. Lol !! Ended up on a dirt road to Kenton. Actually glad it did, great scenic drive. Thank you for all your videos.
-
❤️ thanks for doing this video. I know I appreciate your kind words towards us out here in No Mans Land.
-
Excellent. One thing about the panhandle of Oklahoma, the wind seldom stops, and it can really get to woofing out there.
-
I drive through the panhandle of OK several times a year. And in Boise City you truly feel you are in the middle of no where
-
Wow I still can't get my head around such a small place being called a city, but it is! Like you said John an authentic place, and you see it's face, warts and all! Interesting both geographically and historically. Thanks John, a nice little video.
-
All of your videos holds my interest. Well thought out and presented. Thank you!👍
-
So sad that our small towns are disappearing.
-
I came across your channel several days ago and enjoyed the two videos I've seen so far! I grew up in KS (about an hour north of Wichita), so towns like Boise City bring back some fond memories. Thank you 🙂

Just west of Boise City on US 412 A couple of miles from the New Mexico state line is the town of Felt. Felt OK. Love the ending
-
Hey Coach. Looks o.k. out there.I like drone @ 5 minute mark. The old tarmac looks pretty good still.Keep on truckin.
-
Thank you, Jon. I remember driving from Amarillo to Liberal KS to pick up a load of swinging meat about 50 years ago and Boise City was in between. It seems like not much has changed. I wish these small cities could somehow rebound to former glory. GO SHOCKERS!
-
It is 600 miles to drive from Boise City to Idabel, OK on Oklahoma State Highway 3 and never leave Oklahoma. Also, Cimarron County is the only US county that borders 4 states.
-
Tell me you stopped and got beef jerky at No Nans Land, nicest people and best jerky! Beautiful part of our state. ❤
-
Used to drive a truck thru there weekly going from Ardmore to Denver....town "square" was vibrant and busy then....then a bypass was put in...you can see the results!
-
We stopped here to eat on the way to Taos last week and also on the way back home to Hutchinson as it was close to the midway point of the one-day drive. The Burger basket at the Bluebonnet Cafe was excellent and a good value. Tacos at Guera's very good as well & slightly pricier.
