History - Broken Arrow

Broken Arrow's history dates back to the late 1800s when it was established as a railroad town. The name is derived from a nearby creek, and the city grew rapidly due to its strategic location and agricultural roots.

Over the years, Broken Arrow has transformed from a small farming community into one of Oklahoma's largest suburbs. Its growth has been fueled by the expansion of the Tulsa metropolitan area, leading to a diverse population and a vibrant local economy.
