One of Tulsa's claims to fame has long been its role in the development of the petroleum industry. Yet today, there are many facets to this colorful city - its rich heritage, its support of education and the arts, and its diversified economy - that make it a community prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.

From its early days as a frontier boomtown to its evolution as a modern center for telecommunications, aerospace and tourism, Tulsa has always embraced a spirit of free enterprise and civic pride.

Considered one of America's most beautiful - and livable - cities, Tulsa is situated on the banks of the Arkansas River in the heart of Northeastern Oklahoma's "Green Country," a scenic and environmentally diverse area of hardwood forest, tall grass prairie, lakes and rolling hills. Tulsa boasts of clean air and water and a cost of living that keeps housing at 78.9% of the national average. There is an excellent selection of public and private schools, such as the Tulsa Technology Center (vo-tech), colleges, and the University of Tulsa. Tulsa enjoys all the culture and amenities of a big city, without big-city traffic or congestion. Tulsa is a great place to live, work and raise a family.
