About Muskogee

A temporary village was established by the French in 1806, but it wasn’t until 1817 that the first permanent settlement was made on the south bank of the Verdigris River. In 1872, the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad was extended to Muskogee expanding the town exponentially to its current position as Oklahoma’s 11th-largest city with 39,000 residents located 50 miles southeast of Tulsa. Residents of an apartment or home in Muskogee are serviced by nearby general aviation airports, Hatbox Field and Davis Field, although commercial service isn’t provided. Most Muskogee residents elect to work in Tulsa and commute via road or the railroad. The Love Hatbox Sports Complex and River Country Family Water Park are two favorite attractions in Muskogee in addition to the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame & Museum, Five Civilized Tribes Museum, Ataloa Lodge Museum, Three Rivers Museum, U.S.S. Batfish & War Memorial Park, The Castle of Muskogee, and Thomas-Foreman Historic Home. Residents of a Muskogee house or apartment for rent can fulfill their recreational needs nearby at the Honors Heights Park, Rotary Park, Turner Hill Park, Elliott Park, Spauding Park, Civitan Park, and Robison Park.
