Oklahoma - Cities and Settlements #2

It's time for Part 2 of showcasing some of the Cities & Settlements that will be featured in our upcoming Oklahoma DLC for American Truck Simulator. Previously, we highlighted the cities of Guymon, Enid, Lawton and Idabel. Today we are happy to share with you 4 more cities and several settlements. 


Woodward

First up is the city of Woodward. Established in 1887, it was historically known as a shipping point for both livestock and provisions. Today, Woodward, with a population of over 15,000 continues to serve northwest Oklahoma as a commercial and Livestock hub. Load or not, Woodward is a city with a lot charm, history and work for drivers in the state.


Clinton

Positioned in a large valley surrounded by scenic rolling hills and wide-open spaces, Clinton, Oklahoma is a small community of about 10,000 residents. Located in the heart of the Western Oklahoma on Historic Route 66, Clinton is known as the “Hub City of Western Oklahoma.” and features historic buildings in the heart of its downtown business district. With food and agriculture industries present in the area, truckers can expect to find delivery contracts going daily, so be sure to visit! 

Ardmore

Many consider this city a hidden gem in Oklahoma. Located near the famous Adventure Road in Carter County is the historic city of Ardmore. Named after the Irish term Ard Mór, meaning "hills" or "high ground" this is the one place Obi Wan Kenobi hasn't told its resident "Its over". From historic landmarks rich with culture to vibrant businesses, Ardmore has a lot to offer to both residents and visitors alike. Truckers can look forward to picking up contracts to and from the Tire factory, among other industries.

McAlester

Our fourth and final city in this showcase is the city of McAlester. Named after James Jackson McAlester, who started a general store here in 1869. It has since become a bustling city after its rapid expansion, in part thanks to the influx of settlers after the discovery of coal. Since then it has maintained its historic status and is now home to several different industries.

Settlements

That isn't all however! You will also be able to pass through many settlements whilst cruising through Oklahoma. This includes Boise City, which was accidentally bombed during World War 2, Shamrock, which is along Route 66 and Cushing; known as the pipeline crossroads of the world thanks to its major status for trading crude oil.

There's still so much to discover and do in Oklahoma, and we look forward to showing you more in the near future. If you like what you see, be sure to add it your Steam Wishlist! Until next time, keep on truckin'.
