10 Most Beautiful Oklahoma Ozark Towns You Should Move To (and why)

🌲 Drive east out of Tulsa and Oklahoma stops being flat. Roads climb, creeks run clear over gravel, and up here an entire town sits at the bottom of a lake so Tulsa could have something to drink, a town of about 200 people is named Disney, and a brick courthouse built in 1844 is 63 years older than the state. These are 10 Ozark towns in Oklahoma worth moving to, and the reason each one earns its spot: Stillwell, Westville, Salina, Spavinaw, Gore, Disney, Sallisaw, Jay, Grove and Tahlequah. For each one you get the 2020 census population the video cites, what the town is known for, and the honest trade-offs: distance to a hospital, shrinking towns and weekend lake crowds. 🕒 CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 0:47 #10 Stillwell, strawberry capital of the world 2:56 #9 Westville 4:35 #8 Salina on the Grand River 6:34 #7 Spavinaw 8:36 #6 Gore 10:48 #5 Disney 12:35 #4 Sallisaw 14:28 #3 Jay 16:22 #2 Grove and Grand Lake 18:08 #1 Tahlequah 20:51 What the 10 towns have in common 🔎 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN 🍓 Why the governor and the legislature named Stillwell the strawberry capital in 1949 🏛️ The county seat Jay won over Grove in the 1908 election 🌊 The 1,300 miles of shoreline that make Grand Lake the longest in the state 🏚️ A town of 222 people that lost 89 residents in a decade ⚖️ The Cherokee Supreme Court Building, the oldest public building in Oklahoma (1844) 🏥 The one trade-off that never changes: the quieter and cheaper the town, the farther you are from a hospital 🔔 Subscribe to Oklahoma Backstory for the Oklahoma that never makes the news. #Oklahoma #OklahomaOzarks #MovingToOklahoma
