Think you know Tahlequah, Oklahoma? You might be surprised by some of the history hiding right here in our hometown. In this episode of Living in Tahlequah, I’m sharing 5 things you probably didn’t know about Tahlequah, including the first telephone system in Indian Territory, a World Parachuting Championship that brought competitors from around the world, the fire that changed downtown Tahlequah, a massive intertribal council held here in 1843, and just how long Tahlequah was the Cherokee Nation capital before Oklahoma even became a state. Some of these surprised me, and I’ve lived and worked in this area for years! Tahlequah has a history that goes far beyond what we see driving down Muskogee Avenue today. From Cherokee Nation history and historic downtown Tahlequah to events that brought thousands of people here, there are so many stories behind the place we call home.

Have you ever wondered why Tahlequah streets have names like Muskogee Avenue, Goingsnake Street, Keetoowah Street or Stick Ross Mountain Road? In this episode of Living in Tahlequah, I’m digging into the history hiding in plain sight on the streets we drive every day. Tahlequah was established as the capital of the Cherokee Nation in 1839, and many of the names we still see today connect directly to Cherokee history, Native nations and people who helped shape this area. We’ll look at why Muskogee Avenue was NOT named after the city of Muskogee, the Cherokee leader behind Goingsnake Street and the incredible story of Joseph “Stick” Ross, a Cherokee Freedman who became a businessman, civic leader and member of the Cherokee National Council. If you live in Tahlequah, grew up here or just love learning about Oklahoma and Cherokee Nation history, you may never look at these street signs the same way again.
