About Muskogee

Muskogee, Oklahoma was founded in 1876, officially, near the junction of the Arkansas, Verdigris and Grand Rivers in Northeast Oklahoma. Muskogee was named after the Muscogee tribe of Creek Indians.

The Port of Muskogee, accessible from the Gulf of Mexico, is operated by the City. It is a designated Free Trade Zone, which greatly enhances Muskogee’s role as an economic center for northeastern Oklahoma. A major North-South highway (US 69) cuts through Muskogee on the west side, the Muskogee Turnpike on the east side links Tulsa and Muskogee to Interstate 40, which is a major East-West corridor. Muskogee is host to large industries including Georgia Pacific and Daltile.
