Broken Arrow - Northeast (Green Country) | ||||||||
Nestled in the heart of northeastern Oklahoma's Green Country lies Broken Arrow, a suburb of Tulsa and a growing community of 80,000. The city's name comes from the Creek Indians, who settled here in 1828 from Georgia. They had broken branches from the trees instead of cutting them to make their arrows, and thus named their new camp "Thilkachka" or Broken Arrow. Given this Native American history, the main street area is a showcase for native art, history and culture. The Childers statue, one of the last works by renowned Native American sculptor Allan Houser, is located in colorful Memorial Park. The city offers antique lovers a variety of shops, many located right on Main Street. Golf enthusiasts can choose from eight golf courses within the city limits. The longest running festival in Oklahoma takes place every spring in Broken Arrow. Held since 1932, Rooster Days has become a four-day event featuring a parade, carnival, stage entertainment, arts & crafts, trade exhibits and an abundance of tasty food. The Christmas season is also a festive time in the city during the Holiday of Lights when two million lights decorate the campus of the Rhema Bible Training Center, Forest Ridge Golf Club and the downtown area.
