Find parking near Main Street in Broken Arrow, OK.
Situated on the Muskogee and Creek turnpikes and State Highway 51, Broken Arrow lies fifteen miles east of Tulsa in Tulsa County. The Broken Arrow Expressway and Seventy-first Street are the major roads in the area. In 1836 the Muscogee (Creek) Indians became the first permanent settlers in this part of Indian Territory (I.T.). They came from Thlikachka, near the Chattahoochie River, in Alabama.
After 1865 the cattle business was extensive in the region. George Perryman, a Muscogee (Creek) Indian, pastured his herds from south Tulsa east to the Verdigris River and ten miles south. Jay Forsythe of Texas leased the area west and northwest of Broken Arrow. A large pasture southeast was operated by another Texan, E. L. Halsell. James M. Daugherty, also of Texas, leased the area north of Broken Arrow and east to the Verdigris River from Perryman. Present Broken Arrow is located near the southwest corner of the Daugherty pasture where thousands of cattle grazed during spring before being driven to market.
The city resulted from construction the Missouri, Kansas and Texas (MK&T, or Katy) Railway from Muskogee to Tulsa. After the Arkansas Valley Townsite Company incorporated in I.T. in order to develop townsites, William S. Fears, company secretary, inspected the proposed Katy route, selecting a place near two high mounds southeast of Tulsa. The townsite was laid out on both sides of the Katy, which reached the spot on April 13, 1903. Fears decided the name Broken Arrow would be appropriate, as Broken Arrow Creek flowed though this area into the Arkansas River.
