Edmond, Oklahoma is part of the greater OKC metropolitan area.

Edmond is a rapidly growing suburban city in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma in the central part of the state. It is the sixth largest city in the state of Oklahoma and is one of the fastest growing cities within the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area, and is home to the University of Central Oklahoma. As of July 1, 2003, the city had 71,643 residents, and will soon have 100,000. The city limits are located on the northern border of OKC. Two major highways connect OKC to Edmond: The Broadway Extension (US-77) runs though the center of the city and I-35 runs along the eastern side.

Being the highest point in central Oklahoma, Edmond was originally named "Summit" and was a watering and sanding point for the railroad. Today (to show parody overlapping 100 years) the UCO Jazz Lab is located at the heart of Edmond and is immensely popular with locals, whether they be college students or suburbanites. It's also the proud home of many famous folks, including 5-time Olympic gold-medalist Shannon Miller.

Edmond was the site of the post office massacre on August 20, 1986, in which fourteen people were killed and six wounded by Patrick Sherrill, a postman who then committed suicide. This event was the second in a string of postal employee murder-suicides throughout the U.S. that led to the term "going postal".

Controversy erupted in 1996 when MetroChurch, a non-denominational church in east Edmond, began planning for the erection of a 163 foot cross adjacent to the main thoroughfare of town. The story attracted both local and national press coverage. City zoning disputes were eventually resolved and the structure was completed in 1998. In 2001, Metro Church voted to merge with Life Church.
