The Kingfisher County Development Foundation was created in 1958 for the purpose of assisting and promoting industrial, economic and civic growth within, and surrounding the Kingfisher area of Oklahoma.A present K.C.D.F. strategy includes the investment for development of the Kingfisher Industrial Park. The industrial park is located just south of Kingfisher, further closing the gap between [[Oklahoma City]] and Kingfisher. Kingfisher has quickly become a suburban community of the [[Oklahoma City metropolitan area|Oklahoma City Metropolitan Statistical Area]], already home to many commuters to Oklahoma City. Kingfisher is a Certified City and has received a Community Development Block Grant to inventory infrastructure features for Capital Improvement Planning (CIP).{{Citation needed|date=February 2014}}
