Nocona Lodge, pays homage to Chief Quanah Parker Nocona, the last of the Quahada Comanche warriors who dominated the High Plains in the 1800's. Battle of Palo Duro Canyon was @ 20-miles east in September 1874. This battle brought an official end to the U.S./Indian wars, and the eventual peace that finally allowed settlers to occupy this last remaining freedom-outpost of “uncivilized” land in North America.
