About Tulsa, Oklahoma: The Mother Road's Capital City
Tulsa sits on the 1926-1985 alignment of Route 66 in Tulsa County, passing through a thriving city that has long been at the crossroads of culture, commerce, and travel. Founded in the 1830s by members of the Creek Nation and incorporated in 1898, Tulsa rose to prominence in the early 20th century as the "Oil Capital of the World" thanks to nearby strikes like the Glenn Pool oil field. This wealth fueled its rapid growth and positioned it as a key waypoint when Route 66 was established in 1926.
Known as the "Capital of Route 66," Tulsa boasts landmarks that embody the spirit of the highway. The Cyrus Avery Centennial Plaza, named for the "Father of Route 66," features the iconic East Meets West bronze sculpture, depicting a Model T and a horse-drawn wagon crossing paths. Along historic 11th Street, travelers encounter a mix of restored neon signage, vintage motor courts, and modern attractions celebrating the city's Mother Road heritage.
The Meadow Gold Dairy neon sign, a 1930s roadside beacon, has been preserved and relocated to ensure its glow continues for future generations. Tulsa's downtown and midtown districts also showcase some of the nation's finest Art Deco architecture, a direct result of the city's oil-fueled prosperity during Route 66's early years.
Tulsa keeps the Mother Road alive through events like the International Tulsa Route 66 Festival, the AAA Route 66 Road Fest, and other Main Street of America celebrations, supported by the Oklahoma Route 66 Association. Here, live music, classic cars, and local vendors bring together history lovers and travelers from around the world.
Today, Tulsa remains both a destination and a starting point for Route 66 journeys, offering a perfect blend of history, culture, and energy that continues to earn it the title: "Capital of Route 66."
