About Skiatook

William C. Rogers founded Skiatook in 1872 when he constructed a trading post in the Cherokee Nation just to the south of Bird Creek where the flowing stream was at its narrowest point. Today, the small trading post has expanded to a population of 5,000 Oklahomans situated 23 miles north of Tulsa, creating a small-town suburb serving the greater Tulsa area. Residents of an apartment or home for rent in Skiatook enjoy exploring the historic downtown area that includes a variety of antique dealers, local specialty shops, craft and art galleries, studios, old-fashioned drug stores, bakeries, and a few brand-name retailers. Much like other towns of its size, Skiatook residents usually commute into Tulsa where jobs are more plentiful via the railroad that calls at the local depot. The Skiatook Municipal Airport, currently without scheduled service, is actively recruiting a commercial carrier to serve the region.

The “Fantasy in the Sky" Fourth of July celebration is Skiatook’s headlining community event featuring concerts, fireworks, games, and delicious food. Other festivities include the Christmas Parade and Santa's Workshop, Pioneer Day Celebration, July Firework Celebration, and Skiatook Bluegrass Festival. Residents of a Skiatook house or apartment for rent can also take advantage of local locations such as John Zink Park, Skiatook Park, and the recently completed Osage Prairie Trail for jogging and biking. The Cedar Crest Golf Course and Skiatook Lake create picturesque backdrops for weekend barbeques. The Skiatook Museum and The Healing Rock are among favorite landmarks in the area.
