'''Tyrone''' is a town in northeastern [[Texas County, Oklahoma|Texas County]], [[Oklahoma]], United States. The population was 729 at the [[2020 United States census|2020 census]].<ref>{{cite web|url=   https://www.census.gov/search-results.html?searchType=web&cssp=SERP&q=Tyrone%20town,%20Oklahoma|title= Tyrone (town), Oklahoma  |publisher=US Census Bureau|accessdate=October 15, 2023}}</ref>

The town was reportedly named by a railway vice president when the railroad passed through the area. It was named after [[Tyrone, Pennsylvania]], where the V.P.'s mother lived. The towns on the railway in Texas County (see below) were 10 miles apart, either for the distance between railroad worker camps, or because of needs for water by locomotives at that distance apart. Nearby Shades Well (three miles northeast) was the trailhead for many cattle drives in the late 19th century. It was larger than [[Dodge City, Kansas|Dodge City]] for a time, and still has mounds of broken glass from beer and whisky bottles consumed by drovers.  The trailhead later moved again and it was abandoned.
