Erick

Established in 1901 as an agricultural community on the National Old Trails Road, Erick was perched (or parched?) at what was the edge of the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression. There was brief pre-war natural gas exploration. By the 1940s Erick began to attract motor courts and roadside businesses catering to motorists, which prospered in the post-war era. The last Oklahoma section of Route 66 was bypassed, Sayre to Erick, in 1975.
Erick is known as the former home of country musicians Sheb Wooley ("one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater") and Roger Miller ("King of the Road," "Dang Me," "You Can't Roller Skate in a Buffalo Herd"). It's the second-westernmost settlement (beside tiny Texola OK) in the state.

From I-40 take State Route 30 South.

The main roads in Erick are Roger Miller Memorial Highway (Broadway) and Sheb Wooley Blvd. (Main Street or State Route 30). East-West roads are numbered 1st-12th.

Before Annabelle's 2014 battle with cancer (R.I.P.), this was somewhere where any day of the week you could catch Harley & Annabelle performing for singles, couples, families, clubs, tour bus groups and media. Refreshments were always "on-the-house," along with hugs, kisses and photo-ops.
