There are a lot of unique names for small towns in Oklahoma, and that’s one of the many charms of the Sooner State. There’s Cookietown, for instance, or Bushyhead. Coweta is another one, and it’s easy to tell the visitors from the residents based on how they pronounce the name. While many people's first instinct might be COW-eh-tuh or co-WET-uh, the actual pronunciation is kuh-WEEH-tuh. Despite its slightly challenging name, this town of about 10,000 residents has a lot to offer. New residents can find a variety of housing and a location within 12 miles of Broken Arrow and just a 30-mile drive to downtown Tulsa. What Coweta lacks in size, it more than makes up for in amenities.
