Blanchard was originally built around the development of a new railroad line and has since transformed into a small town hub with must-eat restaurants. It boasts some of the best foods Oklahoma has to offer. The local Burrito Grill was awarded the 2016 MIO Restaurant of the Year title by focusing on its 'Made in Oklahoma' eats and treats. Residents and visitors delight in enjoying the locally farmed, raised and grown foods Oklahoma has to offer.

Agritourism reigns supreme in Blanchard with a charming farmers market and a winery. Monarch butterflies migrate through town during the fall creating quite the site to see! Blanchard is part of a rapidly growing area of northern McClain and Grady counties known as the "Tri-City Area" including Newcastle and Tuttle.
