== Fun facts ==
* A medium security prison was constructed in Hominy at the price of $12.8 million and received its first inmates in August 1979. It was originally named the Jess Dunn Correctional Center in honor of a warden killed in an escape attempt. A 1977 joint resolution renamed the facility the Dick Conner Correctional Center. The facility reached its original design capacity of 400 during the spring of 1980.
** The prison was badly damaged by a riot that took place on August 29 and 30, 1983. A riot proclamation was issued by then Governor George Nigh on August 30. The inmates torched the buildings adjacent to the kitchen and completely destroyed the library, school, and church area. All of this resulted in the death of an inmate and damages of $3 million. The first special session of the 39th Legislature re-appropriated nearly $2.5 million to fund reconstruction of the facility.
* From the early 1920s to 1932, Hominy was home to a professional football team composed of Native American players. The Hominy Indians defeated the New York Giants in 1927, just after the Giants were named champions of the National Football League. The team had a 28-game winning streak at one point during its existence, but was disbanded due to the onset of the Great Depression. A screening of the movie "Playground of the Native Son," based on the events of the team was screened Oct. 10, 2014, at Circle Cinema, Tulsa's non-profit and independent theater.
* The town's economy is largely based in oil production and agriculture. Major job providers in the area are the Dick Conner Correctional Center and Osage Casino-Hominy as well as Cleveland's Walmart.
* Hominy has a little bit of amenities to offer, but not much. Asides the two mentioned above, it also has dollar stores, electric showers, a municipal airport, Sonic Drive-In, Daylight Donuts, Subway, a little bit of local restaurants and businesses, Drummond House, Los Tres Hermanos, a sports complex, a little bit of public battle fields, and not much else.
