  • The Way Downtown Is Supposed to Be
    The Way Downtown is Supposed to Be Downtown OKC It’s known as “the place to be.” In Oklahoma City, a revitalization has firmly taken hold with public and private investment combining to put in motion more than $6 billion in projects and building since 1995. More than 55,000 people work downtown, including high-tech and health care industries as well as high- paying energy jobs, not to mention professional basketball players. Ideal for both living and working, Downtown’s various districts are becoming a magnet for the “creative class,” and fittingly a number of corporate headquarters and new housing developments are located here. In fact, Oklahoma City is bucking the trends and downtown population has actually increased 15% since 2000. It’s the new urban vibe without the old urban grit.

When the Five Civilized Tribes were forced to cede their lands after the Civil War, the Iowa, Sac and Fox, Absentee Shawnee, Citizen Band Potawatomi, and Kickapoo received lands in present Pottawatomie County.
