Owasso: A Tulsa County Town Named for a Creek Word
Owasso was founded in 1881 as a rail stop on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, originally called Elm Creek before adopting its current name. The name derives from the Osage word for "end," referring to the endpoint of the rail line at the time of founding. Growth accelerated sharply in the 1990s as Tulsa's northern suburbs expanded, and the population has roughly tripled since 2000.
The Redbud Festival, held each April, draws visitors to the downtown district. The Owasso Historical Museum occupies the 1910 train depot. Bailey Ranch Golf Course, a municipal 18-hole facility, opened in 1993 and sits on former ranchland at the edge of the city.
Owasso sits within the Cherokee Nation reservation as recognized by subsequent extensions of the McGirt ruling. The city straddles the border between Tulsa and Rogers counties. Tulsa Tech operates its Owasso campus with programs in nursing, manufacturing, and information technology.
