About Depew, Oklahoma: A Small Stop with a Big Heart
Located along the 1926-1985 alignment of historic Route 66 in Creek County, Depew was founded in 1900 and named after U.S. Senator Chauncey Depew. During Oklahoma's territorial era, the town thrived as a welcoming stop for Route 66 travelers, offering fuel, food, and friendly conversation to those journeying the Mother Road.
During the highway's golden era, Depew's main street featured a classic 1920s gas station, a general store, and other mom-and-pop businesses that served Mother Road travelers. Many of these structures, now either preserved or restored, offer a nostalgic glimpse into the town's past. Murals painted on brick storefronts tell stories of community pride and history, reinforcing the town's "Little Town with a Big Welcome" motto.
Depew is a stone's throw from Stroud's legendary Rock Café, a quintessential Route 66 institution. It is also close to larger Mother Road events like the Stroud Route 66 Festival, which draws visitors from across the region. Supported by the Oklahoma Route 66 Association, these nearby celebrations keep the town's connection to the historic highway strong.
Today, Depew remains a peaceful, friendly stop on Route 66. The town is a place where travelers can truly slow down, enjoy the charm of a close-knit community and experience the kind of warm hospitality that makes this little town's welcome feel so big.
