The character of the city of Sapulpa has been shaped by three historic factors – Indians, railroads and oil. Like most Oklahoma towns, Sapulpa has thrived on two of these things - railroads and oil. Sapulpa's rich heritage is still evident when driving through the downtown district. Sapulpa provides a variety of things to do for entertainment and tourism and is a popular place for visitors to come and experience the history of the city.
Rich architecture and family owned businesses are still thriving in this Northeast Oklahoma town. Sapulpa became an official Main Street community in 1990. A visionary group of individuals recognized that Sapulpa had a rich downtown that was not fully contributing to the economic development of the community. In the past 15 years, $15.5 million in private and public funds were put into downtown brick and mortar projects. The Main Street program will continue its economic development work to ensure the heart of the city, Sapulpa's distinguishing characteristic, remain vital.
The current focus of the city is on continued recruitment of diversified, specialized retail, development of upper floor spaces into housing and offices, and image promotion. This is all accomplished through a national four-point approach focused on quality and long-term improvement of the city. The four points are: Design, Economic Restructuring, Promotion and Organization.
Sapulpa is a great place for new couples and families with a desire for a small town historical feel that is based on traditions and heritage.
