Cushing (Meskwaki: Koshineki,[4] Iowa-Oto: Amína P^óp^oye Chína, meaning: "Soft-seat town"[5]) is a city in Payne County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 7,826 at the time of the 2010 census, a decline of 6.5% since 8,371 in 2000.[6] Cushing was established after the Land Run of 1891 by William "Billy Rae" Little. It was named for Marshall Cushing, private secretary to U.S. Postmaster General John Wanamaker.
A 1912 oil boom led to the city's development as a refining center,[7] with over 50 refineries operating in Cushing over its history.[8] Today, Cushing is a major trading hub for crude oil and a price settlement point for West Texas Intermediate on the New York Mercantile Exchange[9] and is known as the "Pipeline Crossroads of the World."
