Let Us Tell You About Tulsa!

From 1828 to 1836, Tulsa went through a transformation of being open, untamed prairie land thanks to the 5 civilized tribes that settled here on the Trail of Tears. It was known as the “Oil Capital of the World” for much of the 20th century and the oil industry of today has much to credit T-Town.

Today, Tulsa boasts at being the 2ndlargest city in Oklahoma as well as the 47th populous city in America. Although the oil boom moved from Tulsa to Houston eventually, and Tulsa population did decline, it is a diversified state that would see to this town keep growing and thriving. The diversification the city offers now is credited with the population of over 6,200 between the 2010 census and 2013.

The diversification efforts have brought many industries and the companies that create those industries to Tulsa, making the unemployment rate one of the lowest nationwide. There is everything here from aviation and energy to finance and telecommunications, as well as the technology industry.
