Noble
Community Overview
Noble is a growing community of 5700 located in Cleveland County, just south of Norman and Greater Oklahoma City. It is an active "family" community, well known for its quality lifestyle, excellent school system and easy access to a major university and metropolitan area.
Location
Noble is located in central Cleveland County, three miles south of Norman, the county seat. It is part of the Oklahoma City metroplex and is located 30 miles south of the state capitol, 130 miles southwest of Tulsa, and 192 miles north of Dallas.
Noble is traversed by four-lane U.S. Highway 77, and four-lane Oklahoma State Highway 9, providing easy access to Interstate 35, just 7 miles away and near the major U.S. interstate crossroads of I-35-, I-40 and I-44.
It is located 26 miles from Will Rogers World Airport, and six short miles from Max Westheimer Airpark in Norman - one of the state's major business airports. The Amtrak Heartland Flyer passenger train runs daily from Oklahoma City to Dallas/Fort Worth - boarding in nearby Norman or Purcell.
Business Advantages
Noble's central location makes it ideal for business and residential growth. The community has low business costs, access to a major labor supply, a productive workforce, and plenty of development sites.
In addition to its growing business and industrial community, Noble offers quick access to major employers such as Johnson Controls, Tinker Air Force Base, Astellas Pharma Technologies, Hitachi and the National Center for Employee Development (formerly the Postal Training Center). The University of Oklahoma's research campus is just minutes away.
Noble is accessible to several major higher education campuses - including The University of Oklahoma, Rose State College, Oklahoma City Community College and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.
Quality of Life
Living in Noble combines the benefits of small town values and quality of life with easy access to the opportunities of a large metropolitan city. The community, which began with the famous Land Run of April 1889, is now a growing residential and commercial business area offering quality amenities and a low cost of living.
The Noble School System (127 sq. mile service area) is one of the finest in the state with five campuses serving its students. Education is an issue that is immensely valued by the Noble community. Our strength, as a rapidly expanding 5A school district, comes from the pride the community has in its schools and its 2,800 students. The Noble Public School District is well-known for leading the way in education with a state- and nationally-accredited system consisting of one high school, one middle school, and three elementary schools.
Noble offers a variety of cultural and recreation opportunities including water parks, nearby lakes and rivers, Little River Zoo, 6 wineries, Thunder Valley Raceway and the popular Rose Rock Music Festival.
Noble is also the "Rose Rock Capitol of the World." This natural phenomenon is a reddish-brown sand barite stone that is naturally formed into a rose. Noble's Timberlake Museum showcases Oklahoma's official state rock. The Rose Rock Legend has it that the rose rock represents the blood of Cherokee the braves and the tears of the maidens who made the devastating Trail of Tears journey in the 1800s from Georgia to Oklahoma.
