== Fun facts ==
* Oil and gas production began very early in the 20th Century. The Healdton field opened in 1913, and led to the development of Ardmore as a major oil production center. However, a disastrous fire occurred in Ardmore in 1915, when a railroad car exploded, killing 43 people and destroying much of the downtown. Ardmore and the local oil industry recovered, and the city also became a manufacturing center. Akron Tire and Rubber Company built and operated a plant in Ardmore as early as 1915. In 1970, Uniroyal built a tire plant there. It was acquires by Michelin North America in 1990. By the start of the 21st Century, manufacturing was the largest component of the county economy.
* Gene Autry was originally named Lou, however, the town was renamed on November 16, 1941 to honor the singer and motion picture star.
* The Black Gold Casino is located at Wilson.
* Dickson has no post office, so the residents of the town have an Ardmore address. The town is home to many employees who work in Ardmore's manufacturing plants and light industrial businesses. There are a few businesses at the cross roads of U.S. Highway 177 and State Highway 199, including a bank, gas station, day care, church, and bulldozer service. Most of the community travel into Ardmore (which is about 10 miles west) to either work or shop.
