Okmulgee is a historic city located in east-central Oklahoma, serving as the county seat of Okmulgee County. The city's name comes from the Creek (Muscogee) word "oki mulgee," meaning "boiling waters." Established in 1868, Okmulgee holds significant cultural importance as it served as the capital of the Creek Nation from 1868 to 1907. The city experienced substantial growth during the early 20th century due to the discovery of oil in the region.
The cultural heritage of Okmulgee reflects both its Native American roots and its development during Oklahoma's oil boom period. The city features several historic buildings and structures from the early 1900s, particularly in its downtown district. The Creek Council House, built in 1878, stands as a testament to the city's Native American history and now serves as a museum showcasing Creek culture and history. The area continues to maintain strong connections to its Creek heritage while also preserving its architectural legacy from the oil boom era.
