Located in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Oklahoma, Catoosa is a small city in Rogers County, adjacent to the state capital of Tulsa. With a population of approximately 7,000, the city is known as an industrial and transportation hub with a rich energy and manufacturing base. Catoosa is an important railroad and highway interchange, connecting to several interstate highways, and its easy access to logistics makes it an important node in the regional economy.
Catoosa's most recognizable landmark is the Blue Whale, a giant sculpture park built in the 1970s that is now a popular tourist attraction and family destination. In addition, the city's proximity to the Arkansas River offers outdoor activities such as fishing and boating. The economy is dominated by energy, transportation and retail, while retaining a small-town, Midwestern feel with safe neighborhoods and a low cost of living.
Founded in the late 1800s, Catoosa's name is derived from the Cherokee word meaning "between the hills," reflecting the influence of the area's Native American culture. The city benefited from the oil boom and transportation construction of the 20th century, and today maintains a multicultural atmosphere. Community events such as festivals and markets are held annually, attracting neighborhood residents and highlighting its peaceful and friendly living environment.
