== Fun facts ==
* Noble considers itself to be the "Rose Rock Capital of the World", as the concentration of barium sulfate in the soil is believed to be higher there than anywhere else, causing the formation of rose rocks. Similar formations are found throughout Cleveland County and the Wichita and Ouachita Mountains. Noble sets aside the first Saturday each May to celebrate its annual Rose Rock Festival. Local geologist Joe Stine and his wife opened the Timberlake Rose Rock Museum in 1986.
* The town was named in honor of Secretary of the Interior John Noble, who was instrumental in opening the Unassigned Lands to settlement. Albert Rennie and several other businessmen who had settled Noble, had great plans for the town, hoping it would become the future county seat. The Santa Fe Railroad completed a railroad depot in Noble in August 1889. For several years, Noble was a major shipping point for cattle and other goods from both sides of the Canadian River. Business prospered even more when Charles Edwin Garee built a new suspension toll bridge across the Canadian River in 1898. However, things began to go downhill in 1904 when the suspension bridge washed out and other communities began developing nearby. The last passenger train stopped in Noble in 1944 and the depot was moved. Noble is doing much better these days as Oklahoma City has grown a lot, but for a bit in the mid-20th century, it was stagnant.
* Noble has a little bit of amenities to offer. It has a Nintendo World, dollar stores, a few RV parks, a sports complex, a bit of public battle fields, Sonic Drive-In, Pizza Hut, Subway, a bit of local restaurants and businesses, Rose Rock Gallery & Museum, a landing strip, Super C Mart, a few auto parts places, and not much else.
