Sperry's history is tied to the Oklahoma oil boom of the early twentieth century, which brought workers and growth to the area.

Today the town's economy is anchored by its connection to Tulsa, a short drive to the south. The community offers a small-town setting with a slower pace, while remaining close to the employment, shopping, education, and cultural amenities of Tulsa. Its position within Tulsa County places residents within reach of the city's highways, employers, and services, while the town itself maintains a distinct identity separate from the larger urban area. Sperry's residential neighborhoods are quiet and compact, with a small downtown and a school-centered community life. Local businesses, churches, and the school district anchor daily life, and the surrounding countryside offers a mix of homes and rural acreage. For residents, Sperry offers the appeal of a smaller community with the practical advantage of being minutes from the employment and services of Oklahoma's second-largest city. Public education is provided by the Sperry Public Schools, which serves the town and surrounding area. Sperry functions today as a quiet, residential community that combines a small-town identity and an oil-era heritage with the convenience of one of Oklahoma's largest metropolitan areas just to the south.
