Lawton, Oklahoma is the home of Cameron University. With its neighbor Fort Sill, it is a community with a population of over 100,000 located in Southwest Oklahoma. Just 45 miles north of the Red River, Lawton also has strong ties to its Southern neighbor, Wichita Falls, Texas. Surrounded by mountains and small lakes, the city enjoys a stable economy, largely due to the 26,000 service personnel on active duty at Fort Sill and an equal number of former Army members who chose to make Lawton their home after retiring from the service.
