Meers is an unincorporated community located on State Highway 115 in Comanche County, Oklahoma, United States, in the foothills of the Wichita Mountains. Founded as a gold mining town in 1901, it was named for mine operator Andrew J. Meers. The only remaining structure of the original town is the Meers Store & Restaurant, which Food Network named as the best hamburger joint in Oklahoma and one of the best in the United States, largely due to its signature MeersBurger. The Meers Store also served as the area post office from March 12, 1902, until February, 1989. Currently, area residents have Lawton mailing addresses. Meers lies on the Meers Fault. In 1985, in order to monitor seismic activity, the Oklahoma Geological Survey installed a seismograph in the Meers Store.

  • Meers ist ein kleiner Ort im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Oklahoma. Er liegt in der Nähe der . Gegründet wurde der Ort in den 1890er Jahren, nachdem angeblich Gold in der Nähe gefunden wurde. Das Gerücht von angeblichen Goldfunden wurde möglicherweise in die Welt gesetzt, um Siedler aus dem Osten anzulocken. Tatsächlich existierte eine Zeit lang Minen in der Nähe der Stadt, allerdings wurde nie größere Goldmengen gefunden. Wirtschaftlich bedeutsam in Meers wurde dagegen die Rinderzucht, wobei man auf Longhorn-Rinder aus Texas zurückgriff. Rinderzucht ist bis heute die Haupteinnahmequelle in Meers. In Meers befindet sich außerdem ein Wildtierreservat, in dem Büffel, Elche und Hirsche gehalten werden. (de)
