Texoma generally refers to the region bordering the Red River that runs between north Texas and southern Oklahoma, USA. The origin of the word Texoma comes from a combination of Texas and Oklahoma.
The area is centered on Lake Texoma, an artificial lake of 89,000 acres (360 km²) located approximately 70 miles (100 km) north of Dallas.
Much of the area's economic viability and marketability is centered around the recreational activities that the lake provides, with 5+ million visitors annually. It is the location of the Texoma American Viticultural Area.
The principal cities in the Texoma region are:
- Ada, Oklahoma
- Ardmore, Oklahoma
- Durant, Oklahoma
- Denison, Texas
- Gainesville, Texas
- Sherman, Texas
- Wichita Falls, Texas
- Lawton, Oklahoma
- Kingston, Oklahoma
