== Fun facts ==
* The city was developed in response to talk of an air field being located nearby and named for the Tinker Air Force Base's original designation as the Midwest Air Depot.
* Midwest City's economic base is heavily dependent upon Federal tax dollars via Tinker Air Force Base, the largest single-site employer in Oklahoma.[24] Other large employers include the Midwest Regional Medical Center and aerospace industry businesses affiliated with the base. The General Motors Oklahoma City Assembly plant was another major employer from its opening in 1979 until its closure in February 2006. GM closed the plant as part of a cost-savings measure. The property was later acquired by Oklahoma County and leased to Tinker Air Force Base for $1/year. Tinker renamed the facility the Tinker Aerospace Complex.
* Midwest City is home to a four-star 18-hole municipal golf course, a 9-hole municipal golf course, a swimming pool, splash park, and several urban parks. The nearby base hosts an annual Star-Spangled Salute each summer. Rose State College hosts Global Oklahoma each year on the first Saturday in October.
* Midwest City has a good bit of amenities to offer. It has a Walmart, Nintendo World, Sam's Club, some auto parts places and car dealerships, Ace Hardware, some chain restaurants, some fast food, plenty of local restaurants and businesses, a few sports complexes, plenty of public battle fields, Midwest City Town Center Plaza and a few other shopping centers, Tinker Golf Course, and a few other things.
