Welcome to Owasso, Oklahoma, a wonderful place to call home!
Owasso (prounounced OH WAH SO) is an Indian word that means “end of the trail.” History records that sometime around 1900, Owasso was the location where the several railroads ended and the trains would have to turn around. In 1904, Owasso became a town under the laws of Indian Territory, and eventually was chartered as a city in 1972.
Through the years, Owasso has grown from a sleepy town of mostly homes and residents to a thriving city with shopping, new home construction, two hospitals and lots to do. Owasso is the home of the Rams!
The population of Owasso grew from around 20,000 in the year 2000 to right around 30,000 by the year 2010. This was due to planned growth by the city, excellent schools, the housing market boom and commercial growth. It didn’t hurt that Owasso offers affordable housing and a very inexpensive cost of living.
Owasso is located just 8 miles north of Tulsa, but is a city unto itself. With an award winning high school band, a state championship winning baseball team, academic excellence and our friendly atmosphere, many continue to come to Owasso to live, shop and play!
