The City of Bethany in Oklahoma

Bethany, Oklahoma is a vibrant suburban city located about 10 miles west of downtown Oklahoma City and forms part of the broader Oklahoma City metropolitan area. Founded in 1909 by members of the Church of the Nazarene as a faith-based community around Oklahoma Holiness College—now Southern Nazarene University—Bethany was officially incorporated in 1910. The city historically upheld strict “blue laws” forbidding activities like alcohol consumption, dancing, and movies, though these regulations were gradually relaxed after it reorganized as a first-class city in 1931. Bethany suffered a devastating F4 tornado in November 1930, which claimed 23 lives and destroyed over 650 buildings—a rare and tragic late-season tornado in Oklahoma. Today, the city spans just over 5 square miles and had a population of 20,831 according to the 2020 census, marking a 9.3% increase since 2010. Known for its strong educational foundation, major local employers include Southern Nazarene University, Southwestern Christian University, The Children's Center, and the Bethany Public Schools system. High-quality city amenities—such as Eldon Lyon Park, the site of popular events like the Bethany Freedom Celebration—and cultural attractions like the Oklahoma Museum of Flying at Wiley Post Airport further enrich community life
