Bartlesville, OK
Bartlesville is a city in transition with great things happening in all sectors of the community “from economic growth, to residential expansion, to ongoing improvements in education, culture, recreation and infrastructure,” says Everett Piper, president of OKWU and one of several local leaders who served as Bartlesville Chamber President. “It’s obvious that Bartlesville is in a different place than it was just five years ago. Our foundation is stronger and our future is brighter,” said Piper. “While we’re a growing city with a global reach, we nurture a sense of community and enjoy a quality of life that would be the envy of most other cities, large or small.”
The citizens of the Bartlesville area and visitors alike enjoy the rich, diverse heritage of a town built by the oil industry. Roaming herds of exotic animals on an oil baron’s vast ranch, a chic hotel in Frank Lloyd Wright’s only skyscraper, plus a wealth of Western art, culture and history, make the Bartlesville area a treasured place to live.
