HISTORIC DISTRICTS
Two residential neighborhoods within the City of Enid are designated as historic preservation districts : Kenwood Historic District and Waverley Historic District . Both districts are replete with the popular housing styles of the late 19th and early 20th centuries . The styles represent design trends that span the initial period of settlement , to Enid ’ s early prominence as an agricultural and commercial center at the turn of the century , to the heady days of the oil boom in the 1910s & 1930s , and the Great Depression of the 1930s . A walking-tour brochure of both districts is available through the City of Enid Planning Office . Both districts have active neighborhood associations and neighborhood watch programs .
