Tulsa County, located in northeastern Oklahoma, was created at statehood in 1907. In the 1700s, French explorers and traders traveled the area, and the 1903 Louisiana Purchase brought American explorers. The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company was extended to Tulsa County in 1881-82, and other railroads followed. Oil was discovered in the area in 1901, and it rapidly became an important economic force. Constructed in 1926, a large portion of Historic Route 66 runs through Tulsa County and its location contributed to the growth of the county. The Tulsa Historical Society Museum of History houses artifacts and photos of local history. There are many other world-class museums in Tulsa including the Philbrook Museum of Art, the Sherwin Miller Museum of Jewish Art and the Tulsa Air and Space Museum. The Sand Springs Cultural & Historical Museum features exhibits of the city’s history, as well as genealogical research resources.

In 2000, census records showed 563,299 people living in Tulsa County. Countless resources exist for tracing genealogy in Tulsa County including legal records, cemetery records and a local genealogical society. For more information about genealogy in Tulsa County, resources are provided below.
