BrokenArrowsmBroken Arrow
As a community, Broken Arrow has been recognized nationally consistently as one of the best places in America in which to live and raise a family. Nationally renowned Family Circle Magazine named Broken Arrow one of the top 10 cities in America in which to raise a family. The article, featured in the August 2008 issue, highlights cities and towns that offer quality educational and workforce opportunities, low crime rates and affordable housing. Thousands of cities from across the nation were selected for consideration by a research firm with representatives from the finalist cities interviewed prior to a decision. Broken Arrow has received prestigious recognition in the last few years from Money Magazine, Business Week Magazine and was recently named the 22nd safest city in the nation by CQ Press.

Jenks
JenkssmThe City of Jenks provides a small town atmosphere with big city convenience minutes away. Located along the West Bank of the Arkansas River, Jenks is proud to be the host of the region's first river entertainment/activity center. The City of Jenks is revolutionizing the tourism market of Oklahoma. Beginning with the opening of the Oklahoma Aquarium in May of 2003, the City saw over 450,000 people and over 100,000 school children accept that invitation by experiencing this world class facility the first year. This success continues with RiverWalk Crossing. This dynamic new development is home to retail, restaurants, and office space. The RiverWalk Crossing Plaza overlooking the Arkansas River also serves as an outdoor dining space, and the amphitheater hosts live concerts and events.

Owasso
Owassosm"Owasso" is an Indian word, meaning "the end" or "turn around." At the turn of the century, it identified the area where the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad line ended - in a field several miles northeast of Tulsa. In 1906 Owasso formally became a town under laws of the Indian Territory and was chartered as a city on September 28, 1972. Owasso's population remained at a few hundred people until the end of World War II. Then the veterans came to the area for the developing aircraft industry, mainly the Tulsa Airport, located just south of Owasso. The aircraft and related industries brought families to Owasso from across the midwest from 1950-1970 raising the population into the thousands.

Sand Springs
SandSpringssmThe city was founded by Oklahoma philanthropist Charles Page. He envisioned Sand springs as a haven for orphans and widows. He helped found and develop Sand Springs as a model city that included all components of a total community. Today, Sand Springs is ripe with growth and development due to its strategic location near downtown Tulsa and proximity to cultural and recreational opportunities. Numerous private and governmental projects are currently underway to morph Sand Springs from a historically-rich bedroom community into a progressive and complete community.

Sapulpa
SapulpasmWelcome to the City of Sapulpa's web site. In its earliest days, Sapulpa was "Sapulpa Station," the juncture of two railroads. The junction, named in honor of Chief Sapulpa, the area's first settler, was Sapulpa's first major connection. Now, interstate, state and local highways all connect in Sapulpa. Be sure to try out our free Wi-Fi network during your next visit to Sapulpa's historic downtown, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We want to make it as easy as possible to get connected to Sapulpa!
