Midwest City was founded in 1942 by W. P. "Bill" Atkinson, prominent businessman and builder in Oklahoma. The city grew rapidly as hard working and dedicated citizens realized quickly that a unique quality of life and high standard of living could be obtained for Midwest City.

Goals were established by leaders of the community and achievement of these goals was realized in 1951 when Midwest City was honored as "America's Model City." Today, Midwest City holds official designations of "Tree City USA" and "Certified City".
