Porter City Hall
The Town of Porter, Oklahoma, known as the Peach Capital of Oklahoma, has a rich history dating back to its incorporation in 1905. Originally developed as a railroad town, it thrived on farming, ranching, and coal mining, with notable contributions from local figures such as Pleasant Porter, a chief of the Creek Nation.
Porter hosts an annual Peach Festival, celebrating its agricultural heritage, which includes a unique moment when a bushel of Porter peaches was presented at the White House during a debate on the best peaches between Oklahoma and Texas. The town emphasizes community support through local shopping and conservation of natural resources, particularly water.
