With a rich history beginning in 1889, Norman is home to the stateʼs premier research university, the University of Oklahoma, and is a part of the dynamic Oklahoma City metropolitan area with over one million residents. Norman was recently recognized nationally by MONEY magazine as the #6 best mid-size city to live in.

The Norman community takes excellent care of our citizens. With agencies such as Food and Shelter for Friends, the Center for Children and Families, Health for Friends and other United Way programs we are able to extend a hand to those in need.

Norman is always improving, expanding and changing. Norman Regional, a premier municipal hospital, is building a new campus offering the very best in healthcare. We have a wonderful public school system that consistently scores above state averages in every sector of testing. Moore Norman Technology Center is another feature of our community to brag about. MNTC has earned the Oklahoma Association of Technology Centerʼs Gold Star School Award six times, most recently during the 2006-2007 school year.

Our community offers job opportunities in a wide range of companies such as Astellas Pharma, Hitachi, Johnson Controls, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Sitel, Offi ceMax, RiskMetrics Group, Weathernews and
Chickasaw Nation Industries.

Norman is a diverse community with a rich history. We love calling Norman home, and I think you will too. Come see our city with its small town feel and big city arts and amenities!

Sincerely,


Cindy Rosenthal - Mayor
