About Us :
Sapulpa is the county seat for Creek County and is located in northeast Oklahoma's Green Country. It occupies an area over which six nations have flown their flags - Spain, France, England, Mexico, the Choctaw Indian Nation, and the United States. The character of Sapulpa was shaped by three historic factors - Indians, railroads and oil.
Chief Sapulpa, the area's first permanent settler, was a full-blood lower Creek Indian of the Kasihta Tribe in Osocheetown, Alabama. He arrived in Indian Territory about 1850 and established a trading post near the confluence of Polecat and Rock creeks (about one mile southeast of present day downtown Sapulpa). When the Atlantic and Pacific railroad line extended to the area in 1886, it was called "Sapulpa Station" in honor of Chief Sapulpa who had befriended the railway workers.
