The site was originally Fort Reno. With the coming of the railroad,the town was founded in 1889 with a Land Run, and was originally located 5 miles north of the present location. It was named Reno City, but after two major floods of the Canadian river, and the confusion between the name Reno City and Reno, Nevada, the town was moved to its present location and renamed El Reno.
