The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Binger was established immediately after the opening of the Wichita-Caddo Reservation in August 1901, and organized by the Washita Valley Townsite Company. It was named for Binger Hermann, then Commissioner of the U.S. Land Office. A post office named Binger opened in November 1901.
Binger's early economy was based on agriculture in the surrounding area, and whose principal crops were peanuts and cotton. The Enid and Anadarko Railway constructed a line from Bridgeport to Anadarko via Binger in 1901–1902. This railway was purchased by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway in 1903, and was abandoned in 1939.
