The railroad came through and a station was established at Talliaferro's Crossing two miles north of the town's present site. The first railroad station in the county was established in the 1850's when the M&T Railroad was opened from Memphis to Grenada. At one time there was a wood yard there to furnish fuel. for the locomotives.
Prior to 1875 the town of Harrison was established at the present site. It was named for a prominent family of the community who were extensive land owners. There was a voting precinct at Harrison and prior to 1891 there was a post office. The population was reported to be 300. The railway station was moved from Talliaferro's Crossing to Harrison prior to 1891. It was first called Harrison as was the post-office and voting precinct. About 1900 the name of the post office was changed to Enid. For some years to follow the town retained the name of Harrison and Enid. About 1903 the name Enid was given to the railroad station and the voting precinct and the Harrison name was gradually dropped. In 1916 Enid and Kirkpatrick Schools were consolidated with a school building being erected at Enid.
