Along the Arkansas River, in northeastern Oklahoma, there is a “mid-sized city” by the name of Broken Arrow. Among its most pleasant months are May, October, and December. This is not to say, however, that if you live in Broken Arrow, OK, you won’t enjoy the rest of the year! Quite the opposite, in fact. Of this city’s many positive aspects, aside from fantastic weather, are its abundance of arts and culture (there are numerous art galleries), attractive downtown area, and an affordable cost of living. Granted, you’ll need to get ready for the heat in summer, but that’s why air conditioning was invented, after all. Just make sure that before July and August you’ve had your AC tuned up.

Let’s look at some facts and a few of the high points of life in Broken Arrow, OK.

Facts and Figures

The largest suburb of Tulsa, Broken Arrow, at last official count, had slightly fewer than 112,000 people living there. In the entire state, it is the fourth largest city. The current economy is relatively diverse, though agriculture was its main focus originally. It was named Broken Arrow by William S. Fears back in 1902 (after a Creek Indians settlement).

Broken Arrow was named on the list of Friendliest United States Cities some years back, and as the country’s mid-size cities go, it is reportedly on the top 10 list of “The Happiest”. It has, in fact, shown up on a number of lists that paint it favorably. Water and land combined, the city of Broken Arrow covers just under 62 1/2 square miles.
