Tulsa, "The Oil Capital Of The World," is a sophisticated, cosmopolitan city located in the heart of Eastern Oklahoma's Green Country. With some of the country's finest hotels, motels, and restaurants, Tulsa also boasts of excellent transportation facilities, both air and land, as well as year-round festivals, entertainment, the arts, sporting events and a wide range of attractions to suit all tastes.
The roots for modern day Tulsa started when a band of Creek Indians settled by the Arkansas River in 1836. Under an oak tree at 18th Street and Cheyenne, their leader, Archie Yahola, named the settlement "Tulsey" after the Creek word "Tullahassee," meaning "Old Town."
Today, the city that was once dominated by the oil industry is now home to a diversified base of business. With a central location, well-trained work force, and state of the art infrastructure, the Tulsa area is now known as a high-tech city, a fact that hasn't gone unnoticed by some of the country's largest and most advanced corporations. American Airlines has a major presence here, as does Ford Motor Company and Whirlpool, while Tulsa's Port of Catoosa, America's largest inland international seaport, has helped make Tulsa a national distribution center.
