The economic center of eastern Oklahoma
Founded at the confluence of three rivers and named for an Upper Creek Native tribe, Muskogee began as a railway stop midway between Tulsa and the Arkansas state line. Today, the city of 37,000 holds fast to its roots as an economic hub for eastern Oklahoma, even as its population dwindles due to aging residents and more appealing job prospects in nearby Tulsa. “It just has a down-home, country feel,” says Gary Jobe, Realtor with Century 21 First Choice Realty. “I’ve been here all my life, and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere but Muskogee.” Fort Gibson, a historic site originally built as Oklahoma's first U.S. military outpost, occupies the side of the Arkansas River east of Muskogee.
The Port of Muskogee serves as an economic and employment hub for the Muskogee.
Muskogee is a city of about 37,000 that sits SouthEast of Tulsa.

Manufacturing on the Three Rivers
With over 800 employees, paper goods manufacturer Georgia-Pacific is Muskogee’s largest employer. Saint Francis Hospital and Dal-Tile’s Muskogee facility are major employers in the area as well. The regional Veterans Affairs office and medical center pull people from smaller surrounding towns. “A lot of people move here just for the VA hospital,” Jobe says. Creek Nation Casino and Cherokee Casino Fort Gibson provide residents with job opportunities and nightlife.
Due to its location on the Arkansas River, Port Muskogee provides access to global seaports via the Gulf of Mexico. Stardust Power Inc. recently broke ground on a $1.2 billion lithium refinery near the port that's expected to bring hundreds of jobs to the region. A network of highways encircles the heart of town, and Muskogee County Transit offers routes throughout the city, using Arrowhead Mall as a transfer point. Residents have a 50-mile drive to Tulsa and the nearest major airport, Tulsa International.

Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame
Muskogee’s cultural scene revolves around music and regional history. The Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame honors musicians from the Sooner State with an annual induction ceremony and concert, typically held in February at Muskogee Civic Center. The city was once agency headquarters for the Muscogee, Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw and Seminole Nations, whose stories are preserved at the Five Civilized Tribes Museum. Inside the former Midland Valley Railroad Depot, the Three Rivers Museum celebrates the area’s multicultural heritage with a series of revolving exhibits. Local landmark The Castle at Muskogee serves as a dramatic backdrop for seasonal events like the Oklahoma Renaissance Festival and Castle Christmas.

The Azalea Festival in April
Three rivers — the Arkansas, Grand and Verdigris — meet in the northeastern corner of town, inviting anglers to cast lines for bass, catfish and crappie. Several nearby lakes are popular fishing spots as well. “Tenkiller Lake is really clear. People come from Oklahoma City and Arkansas to scuba dive in it,” Jobe says.
Gardens and nature trails at Honor Heights Park draw walkers, runners and birders. Every April, the Azalea Festival transforms the park into a vivid display of blooms, and the Garden of Lights celebration runs during the holidays.
Parents have benches to relax while the kids play at Honor Heights Park.
