Muskogee Oklahoma |
Muskogee is located in eastern Oklahoma in Muskogee County and is the county seat. It lies near the confluence of the Arkansas River, the Verdigris River and the Grand (Neosho) River.
The Creek Indians originally settled the area. Their language, Muskogee, eventually gave the town its name. A settlement developed in the 1870s and a federal Indian agency was established in 1874 followed by Muskogee's incorporation in 1898.
The city is an industrial, trade and transportation hub with a port at the McClellan-Kerr Navigation System on the Arkansas. Muskogee is the third largest manufacturing city in Oklahoma with it's economy driven by meatpacking, food-processing, dairy, oil extraction and refineries. A state school for the blind calls Muskogee home.
Area attractions include the Five Civilized Tribes Museum and the flower gardens of 132-acre Honor Heights Park, Ataloa Lodge, the Thomas-Foreman Home and War Memorial Park/USS Batfish.
Fort Gibson Lake, Chouteau Lock and Dam, Greenleaf State Park, Sequoyah Bay State Park and Sequoyah State Park offer nearby recreation.
