There are many cities named Calumet in the USA. Particularly in Wisconsin and Colorado. The best known is the one in Michigan. With a population of 507 inhabitants in 2010, this tiny town was created during the "Land Run of 1892". Its status as a municipality was official in 1942.

Fort Reno began as a military camp in 1874 in the Indian Wars Era. It was established at the insistence of Agent John Miles at the Darlington Indian Agency, to pacify and protect the Cheyennes and Arapahos there. Troops from the 10th Cavalry (Buffalo Soldiers) were dispatched from Fort Sill, but because of other Indian unrest, were detained at the nearby Wichita Agency at present day Anadarko. The military “Camp Near the Cheyenne Agency” for Darlington was then set up for nineteen months by soldiers from the 5th Infantry and 6th Cavalry from Forts Dodge and Leavenworth under Lt. Col. Thomas Neil.

This river spans 440 miles and is a tributary of the Canadian River. This turnaround spot is a great place to take a breather and enjoy its beauty before heading back to the trailhead.

This trail, formerly River Road, is a fantastic old dirt road that winds through the woodlands. It's perfect for a great run, although it can get muddy, especially after rain. The path is maintained for the first couple of miles but can be slightly overgrown towards the end. Additionally, the trail gets close to the water a couple of times, so keep an eye out, especially if you are moving fast. It's a great place to escape from the city, surrounded by nature and the delightful aroma of honeysuckle along the entire way.

The Mulvey Pond Trail is completely paved and intersects with a few other paved paths. The pond, itself, is fairly small but includes a boardwalk bridge and is right next to both Yukon City Park and Chilsolm Trail Park.

This old dirt road goes by the name "East Trail" and is really easy to follow the first couple miles. The last bit of trail gets a little overgrown at times, but you can still hike the entire thing. The trail gets pretty close to the water on a number of occasions but spends most of its time winding through the woods.

El Reno was originally called Reno City and was 5 miles north of today's center until it was rebuilt here after several floods. El Reno was formerly home to a large workshop for the Rock Island railroad, which first connected Chicago to the Mississippi and continued to expand west. A streetcar also ran from the station to downtown, the last surviving in Oklahoma, and it still runs several times a week for tourists. Monument to the Rock Island Railroad in El Reno From 1940 to 1964, Rock Island operated the Choctaw Rocket, a passenger train from Memphis to Little Rock and Oklahoma City to Amarillo, stopping in El Reno, as well as a repair shop for their trains in El Reno. Murals in El Reno The city's history is depicted on many facades, e.g. on Woodson St between Rock Island and Barker or on the Roserock Bank building on Woodson St and Bickford Ave.

Founded in 1891 by the Spencer Brothers, Yukon sits on the former Chisholm Trail that once connected the Texas pastures to the railroad terminal in Abilene, Kansas. The town was named after the Canadian territory of the same name, where the gold rush was in full swing at the time the town was founded. In 1949, the place received a great deal of media attention after the cow Grady trapped itself in a silo and could not get out through the narrow door. The door could not be extended as the silo was made of steel and it was too valuable to knock down. Finally the door was prepared with oils and the cow pulled out. Today, Yukon is primarily a residential city with easy commuting to Oklahoma City.
