Claremore is the place to be.
Friendly neighbors, tree-lined streets, hometown parades and backyard barbecues — it may sound like a 1950's flashback — but it is reality in the small, progressive city of Claremore, Oklahoma. From its roots as an Osage Indian establishment in the early 1800's, Claremore has become one of the fastest growing communities in the state. According to the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, the city's population is projected to undergo a 13.4% increase from 2000-2010.
Claremore's hospitality and abundant recreational activities make it attractive to visitors and new residents. Claremore is located in the scenic Northeastern corner of the Sooner State, which is home to more man-made lakes than any other area in the nation. Northeastern Oklahoma is a virtual “Mecca” for the water enthusiast. The region's wide, open spaces give land lovers endless opportunities as well with plenty of room for biking, hunting, golfing and team sports for all ages. |

“I came to Claremore because it offered the perfect size and location for my family's home. After working at five hospitals, I welcomed the change to one. I have enjoyed greater autonomy and a good referral base at Claremore Regional Hospital. The administration has been very accommodating, the technology is up to date and the staff provides a home-like environment.” |
Claremore is a family-oriented community with strong civic groups, clubs and A+ schools. From preschool to bachelor's degree programs, a top-notch education can be obtained without ever leaving the city.
Located just 20 miles from Tulsa (pop. 393,049), Claremore residents enjoy the amenities of a metropolitan area and avoid the disadvantages of living in one. For those that think of small towns as places lacking recreational pursuits, sophisticated people and culture, think again. Claremore is an excellent place to plan your future.
