Marlow is a city in Stephens County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 4,385 at the time of the 2020 Census.[4] Marlow is located 10 miles north of Duncan, Oklahoma, and 30 miles east of Lawton, Oklahoma. Founded near the Chisholm Trail, the city is named for Dr. Williamson Marlow, a physician from Missouri who settled at Wildhorse Creek with his family in 1880.[5][6] His five sons, George, Charley, Alfred, Boone, and Llewellyn, were notorious outlaws collectively known as the Marlow brothers.
Marlow historically was a sundown town with signs that were once prominently placed in the city warning Black people to leave before nightfall. The 1923 murders of hotel owner A. W. Berch and his porter, Robert Johnigan, occurred in Marlow's Johnson Hotel.
