Located in what is known as Stonebreaker Heights, stands the celebrated Council tree, a magnificent oak, marking the meeting place of the Creek Indians soon after their arrival in Indian Territory. Seniors lody Wilson and Dan Vineyard take advantage of the prime location with a game of frisbee. getting to know... 1355.252 What does the name Tulsa mean? How and why was the village given that name? Tulsa came from the Indian word Tulwa, which means a town or group of people. Tulsa Town was named for Tulwa Town, the beloved old Alabama homeland of the Mclntosh Creek Indians. Tulsa was called Tulsey Town by the pioneers in the early years of modern Tulsa's existence. A few years before the white men built the railroad into the area, Tulsey Town was, more or less, just a ranch house post office, three and one-half miles south of the present First and Main streets. Tulsa's founder wasl.M. Hall. He was only thirty years old when he and his family came to the Indian Territory in 1882. Hall and a handful of other pio- neers made plans to build a town and labored to- gether against overwhelming hardships to fulfill their plans. They prepared Tulsa for those who were to come later, and make it rich in the oil boom. They literally prepared Tulsa to become the Oil Capital of the World. j.M. Hall lived to see his dream expand to be- come a modern city of one hundred and fifty- thousand people. At the time of his death in 1935, Hall caught a glimpse of the fruits of his labor. It is doubtful, however, that he could have imagined Tulsa as it is today. Tulsa has grown to become one of the most beautiful cities in America, a sprawling metropolis of over five hundred thou- sand. Tulsa is, to say the least, an illustrious and livable city - beautiful, clean and serene. Even in its less-than-settled days, when the or- nery Dalton gang stopped in to buy groceries, and main street backroom gambling escaped the frown of the town's few preachers, Tulsa was considered safe and livable. It still is, though in a much more refined and lively way. 3?
