Route 66 in Downtown Tulsa

Highlight • Historical Site

Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the middle of Indian Territory, was first settled by Native Americans in 1836 when they were forced to settle down the infamous Trail of Tears. The Creek, Seminole, Cherokee, Quapaw, Seneca, Shawnee, and other tribes were forced to relinquish their lands east of the Mississippi after the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830.

By 1920, Tulsa was home to almost 100,000 people and 400 different oil companies. The booming city had two daily newspapers, four telegraph companies, more than 10,000 telephones, seven banks, 200 lawyers and more than 150 doctors, among numerous other businesses.

Although the 1920s looked very promising for the burgeoning city, one of the most gruesome and devastating race riots in US history would soon ensue.

If you're driving through Tulsa on the Mother Road, there are still many sights to see along the old route. Old motels line the streets of 10th, 11th and Southwest Boulevard. Downtown is full of Art Deco buildings, including the Warehouse Market at 925 South Elgin Avenue. The camp market was built in 1929. Colorful terracotta tiles attract people to the farmers' market. The Depression closed it but later reopened as Club Lido during the Big Band era. It served as a grocery store from 1938 until it was abandoned and boarded up in the late 1970s. In the mid-1990s, the property was sold and was slated for demolition until the Tulsa Preservation Commission stepped in and saved the original building's face and tower.

Be sure to check out the Art Deco 11th Street Bridge and the magnificent new East Meets West statue nearby. In the city center, numerous Art Deco buildings date from the 1920s to 1930s. The first oil well in Tulsa County is behind Ollies' Restaurant at 4070 Southwest Boulevard. You can also see a variety of museums and dozens of other icons and attractions as you drive the Mother Street through this beautiful city.
