Jones, a small-town suburb of Oklahoma City, is located about 15 minutes from Oklahoma City. You won't find this small town feel any closer to the metro area. It was named after Charles G. Jones, a three-time mayor of Oklahoma City. The town has an agricultural background as the fertile soil around the riverbed was a great place to grow crops. Produce was shipped by rail to Oklahoma City from its earliest days.
This community takes great pride in competitive high school athletics. These green and white Longhorns always field a strong team. Currently, the girls' basketball team is set to defend their State Champion Title for the third year in a row. The high school was re-built in 2010 and features updated amenities, compared to the good old days when I walked those halls. If you are looking for a family focused community with a classic small-town feel, you will be happy and surprised to discover Eastern Oklahoma County's best kept secret.
