Okmulgee County Oil Town
Apartments in Beggs, OK
Welcome to Beggs, a small Okmulgee County city with an oil-boom past, set between Okmulgee and Tulsa.
Beggs is a city in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, with a 2020 census population of 1,179. It began as a Frisco railroad stop in 1899 and was officially founded when its post office opened in 1900. In its early years Beggs was a center for the hog, cattle, and horse ranches of the surrounding countryside. That changed in 1918, when oil was discovered just west of town; Beggs became a boomtown through the mid-1920s before settling into the quiet, small-city character it holds today. The city sits in the wooded hills of east-central Oklahoma, between Okmulgee and Tulsa, and its Main Street and residential blocks reflect both its railroad-era origins and its oil-boom heyday. Beggs is home to the Isparhecher House, a National Register of Historic Places site tied to Muscogee (Creek) history, and the area retains strong connections to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. Beggs Public Schools serve the community, and U.S. Highway 75 provides a direct route to Tulsa, roughly thirty miles north. The surrounding region is a mix of pasture, woodland, and small farms, and the Deep Fork River corridor runs nearby. Employment is drawn from a blend of local services, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation's operations, and commutes to Okmulgee or Tulsa. For a buyer, Beggs offers small-town living with easy highway access to the Tulsa metro. Its housing is a mix of older homes and ranch-style houses on tree-shaded lots, and its cost of living and pace of life reflect its rural Oklahoma setting. Beggs remains a close-knit community where school, church, and local businesses anchor daily life.
