Claremore: Will Rogers, Hot Springs, and Rogers State University
Claremore took its name from a Osage chief whose village once stood in the area before the Civil War. The town was founded in 1874 as a Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad stop and grew around the discovery of mineral springs that attracted tourists seeking therapeutic baths. The Claremore Will Rogers Hotel and Bath House, opened in 1930, operated as a spa for decades before closing in the late twentieth century; it has since been restored as senior housing.
Will Rogers, the humorist and commentator born in 1879 on a ranch between Claremore and Oologah, is the city's best-known native son. The Will Rogers Memorial Museum opened in 1938 on land Rogers had purchased for his retirement before his death in a 1935 Alaska plane crash. His tomb is located on the museum grounds.
Rogers State University, founded in 1909 as Eastern University Preparatory School, became a four-year institution in 2000 and enrolls around 3,500 students. The J.M. Davis Arms and Historical Museum in downtown Claremore holds one of the largest private firearms collections in the country, donated by hotel owner John Monroe Davis.
The musical Oklahoma! by Rodgers and Hammerstein is based on the 1931 play Green Grow the Lilacs by Lynn Riggs, who grew up near Claremore. Riggs is commemorated at the Lynn Riggs Memorial downtown, and his Cherokee heritage connects the work to the broader region.
