About McAlester

Formed at the crossing of the east-west California Road with the north-south Texas Road formed a natural point of settlement that eventually grew into the 18,000-person city of McAlester. Ninety-one miles south of Tulsa, residents of a McAlester house or apartment for rent are relatively isolated from major cities meaning that most necessities can be found in the local McAlester area. However, for trips into Tulsa or to Oklahoma City, the Arkansas and Oklahoma Railroad provides convenient schedules and inexpensive tickets whereas commuter and regional flights from the McAlester Regional Airport are rather pricey. The two largest employers in McAlester are Spirit AeroSystems and Oklahoma State Penitentiary. Residents of an apartment or home in McAlester join together as a community for a variety of annual events including the Shrine Circus, Pittsburg County Free Fair, Italian Festival, Stars & Stripes Funfest, Armed Forces Day Celebration in the Park, and McAlester's Christmas Parade of Lights. The Southeast Expo Center in downtown McAlester attracts conventions and visitors from around the state and nation. Dancing Rabbit Mall provides a range of retail stores and grocery shops to cover essential needs although travel to larger cities may be required to reach big-box retailers. Other notable locations in McAlester include Talawanda Lakes 1 and 2, Garrard Ardeneum, Chadick Park, Oklahoma Prisons Historical Museum, Pittsburg County Genealogical & Historical Society Museum, McAlester Scottish Rite Masonic Center, Whispering Meadows Vineyards & Winery, and Lake McAlester.
