Muskogee: Five Civilized Tribes Hub on the Arkansas River
Muskogee sits at the confluence of the Arkansas, Verdigris, and Grand rivers, a location that made it a natural trading center long before statehood. Following the Indian Removal of the 1830s and the Civil War reorganization of Indian Territory, the Union Indian Agency was established in Muskogee in 1874 to administer relations with the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole nations. The Five Civilized Tribes Museum now occupies the 1875 stone building that served as the agency headquarters.
Merle Haggard's 1969 song "Okie from Muskogee" made the city a cultural reference point during the Vietnam era. Haggard wrote the song while passing through town with his band. An annual festival still commemorates the connection. The USS Batfish, a World War II submarine preserved at the Muskogee War Memorial Park, was moved inland to its current location in 1973.
Bacone College, founded in 1880 as a Baptist school for Native American students, educated generations of Indigenous artists and leaders. Northeastern State University operates a Muskogee campus. The Oklahoma School for the Blind and the state's maximum-security federal medical center for prisoners also operate in the area.
