How it got its name
Named by Ponca City
Before a single lot was staked, we asked the city what this neighborhood should be called. Hundreds of neighbors answered.
In the spring of 2026, the City of Ponca City opened a public naming contest for the Drake Property — 23.5 acres between Bluestem and Homestead, and Kyme Drive and Mockingbird along North Pecan Road, acquired by the City on December 31, 2025.
Residents submitted name ideas for nine weeks. Similar entries were grouped together, the community's favorites rose to the top, and the top five finalists went to the Ponca City Commission for the final vote.
The Commission chose Fox Hollow — and the name stuck, because it wasn't handed down by a developer. It came from the people who live here.
Fox Hollow is the first new subdivision built in Ponca City since 2008, a landmark for a city working hard on a housing shortage that touches workforce retention, economic growth, and quality of life. It's supported by the Housing Incentive Program (HIP 2.0), re-established by the Ponca City Utilities Authority in June 2021 with $300,000 set aside to spur new construction, lot development, and residential rehabilitation.
