Welcome

The Norman Downtowners Association would like to welcome you to the official website for Norman, Oklahoma Downtown merchants and services organizations. Norman is the home of the University of Oklahoma and to many great attractions. Oklahoma means “Land of the Red People” — we’re home to 67 Native American tribes. But did you also know that we’re home to:

• The Sooners — cowboys who participated in the land rushes of 1889
• Dinosaurs — including the largest Apatosaurus skeleton in the world, and
• Van Gogh — part of the new priceless collection of permanent art displayed at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art

While you’re staying in Norman you can enjoy the rich heritage of Native American culture, the wonders of Oklahoma’s natural history, fantastic arts events and exhibits, and even bump into a Sooner all in the same day! Great culture, a solid community and a down-home pioneer spirit wrapped up in a charming, contemporary university town located just minutes from Oklahoma City. Whether you’ve been here before or you’re new to our fine city we’re confident you’ll find something fresh and unique.
