Tulsa

Tulsa is the second largest city in Oklahoma behind Oklahoma City and the 47th largest city in the United States.

Tulsa has a larger metro area, aptly named Tulsa Metro, which has an estimated population of 1.2 million.

Tulsa has a very diverse economy beginning with the energy industry and expanding to include aerospace, health care, technology, information and finance, manufacturing and transportation. Three Tulsa companies made it to the Fortune 500 list in 2015, all of which are energy companies, including ONEOK, NGL Energy Partners and Williams Cos.

Historically, the state of Tulsa’s economy has been based upon the energy industry starting as far back as World War I. The industry has seen its ups and downs, however with new technology and drilling techniques and the rise of natural gas Tulsa’s energy sector is as busy as ever. In addition to the above named companies, there are many other energy company headquarters in the area including SemGroup, ONE Gas, Syntroleum, Laredo Petroleum and Warren Petroleum. The largest energy employer in Tulsa is ONEOK with over 4,000 engineers, professionals and skilled workers.

The aerospace sector in Tulsa is unique in that it includes schooling, manufacturing, maintenance, pilots and even a large unmanned drone program funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration. American Airlines employs over 5,000 skilled and licensed aircraft and jet engine mechanics, engineers and workers at their 260-acre American Airline Maintenance & Engineering Center.

History

The area that is now known as downtown Tulsa was first settled by Native Americans in 1836, largely due to the location’s proximity to the Arkansas River, and was named Tallahassee. Very soon after, the “Five Civilized Tribes,” Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, and Seminoles, all migrated to the area bringing their ideas of trade and commerce. For about 10 years the area would remain traditionally unsettled with the first real establishment, a log cabin trading post, being forged in 1846 by Lewis Perryman who was part Creek Indian. The Civil War forced many inhabitants out of the area but the reconstruction period brought back the population and some.

After the first Post Office was established in March 1879, the name Tulsa was adopted. At this time the population was around 200 but grew to over 1,100 by 1898. After the Sue Bland No.1 oil well struck oil, another sizable increase in population happened. The Commercial Club was formed as a result of this event to promote and advertise Tulsa as a big name on the oil and natural gas front. In 1905, preparations for the boom began with house manufacturing, businesses opening shop, and water systems being formed. This is when Tulsa became known as the Oil Capital of the World. The first airport was built shortly after and funded by a group of local businessmen. The oil industry in Tulsa did not slow down until after World War II with the introduction and takeoff of offshore drilling. In the oil industry’s slowness came a boom of aerospace with the formation of American Airlines and the establishment of their maintenance center. Some 300 plus aviation companies would eventually follow suit.

In 1970, the Tulsa Port of Catoosa opened and connected Tulsa with the world’s water channels through the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The opening of this port really put Tulsa on the map for global business. Tulsa became a very popular place to do business due to its diverse industry sectors, transportation means and low cost of doing business.

The Tulsa area is home to more than 15 colleges, universities, and higher education institutions. The most prominent include University of Tulsa, University of Oklahoma – Schusterman Center, Oklahoma State University – Tulsa, Oral Roberts University, Tulsa Community College and the Spartan School of Aeronautics.
