Broken Arrow, Oklahoma lies in the northeastern part of the state and although not blessed with scenic mountains, lakes and streams, the city's tree lined streets give it a quaint and homey ambiance. There's plenty to do for the visitor from art museums, a safari animal sanctuary, and the town playhouse to the Bluebell ice cream factory. The city hosts the a professional rodeo in June.

Broken Arrow hosts accommodations from bed and breakfasts to rooming houses and well-appointed hotels and for a prairie city the choices of eateries are quite international with restaurants offering Asian, Mexican, Oriental and Italian cuisine. Although Broken Arrow may not be a primary destination for the traveler, as a stopover, it's hard to beat for the friendly and welcoming small city (town) atmosphere. Read Less

Broken Arrow, OK

Broken Arrow is the largest city in Tulsa, OK. The city received its name from the Native Americans who settled in the area. Broken Arrow has seen an exceptional amount of growth because of the employment opportunities that are available and the tight communities that are in the area. Many residents feel as though they truly belong in the city as it's common to walk down the sidewalks and wave or speak to each other. Festivals and special events also bring members of the community together throughout the year, making Broken Arrow a small city but one where it's pleasant to live.

Each season during the year is usually distinguished from the other. The summer season tends to be hot and dry while the winter months are often filled with freezing temperatures and a few inches of snow. Comfortable temperatures in the spring and fall often mean that residents venture out to parks and activities so that they can enjoy the beautiful scenery that Broken Arrow has to offer. Over half of the days during the year are filled with sunshine instead of rain and clouds.

There are four different wards in Broken Arrow, each with its own city council. The wards have distinct features that set them apart from each other, such as the way each ward operates, the housing options that are available, and the activities that can be enjoyed. Lakes at Indian Springs and Adams Creek Estates are two of the wards that you can visit. A remodeling project in 2005 resulted in new buildings, homes, and attractions including a farmer's market and a performing arts center. Many of the parks in the city were enlarged, giving visitors and residents more opportunities to enjoy being outside.

Several job opportunities are available in Broken Arrow for those who like working in retail and for those who want to work in a manufacturing setting.
