History

Although it had a couple of nearby predecessor settlements, the current town of Vici was platted on September 11, 1911, at a time when buildings were being moved to the site to be close to the tracks of the newly built Wichita Falls and Northwestern Railway, later part of the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad. The town became a prosperous agricultural-products shipping point through the 1940s. Rail service ended in 1972, but activities such as ranching, oil and gas, and a large nursing home became important economic drivers in the modern era.

In 2010 the movie The Dome of Heaven was shot in Vici featuring some local residents in the film, including Mark Randall, Molly Randall, and Travis Dennett and Trey Verhoeff.

The 200MW Persimmon Creek Wind Farm, north-northwest of town, has been online since September 2018.
