Elmore City is a town in Garvin County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 697 at the 2010 census. It was named after J. O. Elmore. There are two main highways running through Elmore City. One of the Highways is Oklahoma State Highway 29, running west-east. The other is Oklahoma State Highway 74, running north-south. It is about 12 miles west of Wynnewood, 25.5 miles south of Purcell, and about 23 miles west of U.S. Highway 177.
Postal address confusion with Elmer, a Jackson County town, caused Elmore to be renamed in 1910 as Banner. However, residents preferred the original name, and a community in Canadian County wanted the Banner designation, so Elmore City came into being in 1911. The town's population increased from 192 in 1910 to 337 in 1930. After reaching 982 in 1960, the number of residents declined to 756 in 2000 and to 697 in 2010.
