Bricktown is a very popular destination near downtown Oklahoma City. It hasn't always been so popular, but in recent years it has seen a revival as new businesses including bars and restaurants have moved into the area. There are also a handful of fun nightclubs that can be enjoyed by the over 21 crowd.
The area that we now call Bricktown, which lies just to the east of the downtown business district, was Oklahoma City's first warehousing and distribution district. It was founded just days after the Land Run of 1889. Bricktown was the central railway hub for not only the state but for the entire country, connecting via railroad, and later, major interstate highways. It was an area full of all sorts of diverse business activity, housing furniture and hardware stores, a biscuit company, a dairy, cotton producers, wholesale grocers and even a school. Bricktown began a steady decline in the 1960s and 70s as Urban Renewal took hold and industry and residents began to move further out of the central city. The area became nearly vacant as buildings became dilapidated or were torn down. But much of this has now changed. It's become a popular spot for those looking for a night out on the town.
