Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Students of American Literature will best recognize Coweta as being the birthplace of legendary folklore poet Louis Oliver, the uncrowned king of Native American Indian poetry.
Historical by any account, Coweta once belonged to the glorious Creek Nation community and its Muscogee population (the original Creeks). Not surprisingly, these Native Americans are still very much part of the city's social and cultural fabric. And how did the name Coweta come about? The city was actually named after a Creek Indian war town along Georgia's Chattahoochee River. The legacy continued when the American Presbyterian missionary Robert Loughridge, upon reaching the area, established a mission named Koweta. Settled for the first time in 1849, Coweta has the unique distinction of being a city, as well as a suburb of Tulsa, which lies around 25 miles northeast. Occupying a total area of 7.7 square miles and with a population of 9,943 at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census, the city enjoys a temperate climate with light snowfall during winters. The Coweta American, a weekly published every Wednesday, is the local newspaper. View Coweta City Guide
