On Highway 81, on the north edge of Comanche, a Centennial Plaza dedicated in 2007 commemorates the 100th anniversary of Oklahoma statehood, and also several local items of historic interest. This marble plaque mounted on the wall tells the story of the Comanche Indian. It reads:
The Comanche Indian
Fierce Warriors of the Southern Plains
The Comanche Indians, nomads of the North American
Western Plains roamed the country in
Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
Comanche people called themselves "numunah"
which means The People.
It is believed the Comanche were the first
people of the plains to use horses
in their travels and conquests.
One widely recognized Comanche Chief was
Quanah Parker.
