 Visitor's Guide • About Stillwater Welcome to Orange Country
Located in north central Oklahoma, and easy drives from Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Kansas City and Dallas, Stillwater provides college-town atmosphere with big-city access.

As the northern most school in the South Division, Oklahoma State is the most centrally located campus in the Big 12 Conference. And because of its location, OSU arguably has the league’s easiest road trips for both its teams and fans, when traveling to face either North or South Division foes.

Stillwater is a rapidly growing city of 47,000 and is near the geographic center of the country. The U.S. Census Bureau recently named Stillwater as the fastest growing city in the state of Oklahoma. Often called Oklahoma’s premier education community, Stillwater is the home of some of the region’s finest education and training institutions, including Oklahoma State University, Meridian Technology Center, Northern Oklahoma College/OSU Gateway, and one of the nation’s top rated public school systems.

With such a strong commitment to education, it’s easy to see why Stillwater’s educational attainment is among the highest in the nation, with 48 percent of its residents holding bachelor’s degrees or higher. The city is the micropolitan anchor for the state’s technology triangle that includes Oklahoma City and Tulsa.

The “college town” atmosphere lends itself to a variety of recreational opportunities. Year-round arts and cultural events appeal to many different audiences and feature music, dance, theater, festivals, lectures, and concerts. A youthful community demands the best in fitness centers, spas, parks and recreational opportunities.

And for the outdoor enthusiast, nearby lakes provide a quiet respite at the city’s edge, sparkling in 234 days of annual sunshine.

After a day of work or play, residents and visitors often relax in one of the many restaurants or night spots that offer everything from barbecue to fine dining, and blues to bluegrass. Stillwater’s retail districts feature a unique shopping experience where you’ll find museums, galleries, and shops with personality. OSU athletic events attract more than 600,000 fans to Stillwater annually.

OSU has been called the “University of Golf,” and the five-star Karsten Creek, home of the 10-time national champion Cowboy golf team and perennial top-10 women’s program, ranks with such well-known courses as Pebble Beach. It’s one of several public and private courses that prompted Golf Digest to call the Stillwater area among the “Top 10 Places in America to retire and play golf.”

Stillwater is one of America’s safest cities, with a crime rate far below the U.S. average and Oklahoma State University has been considered the safest campus in the Big 12 Conference since the league’s inception.

Security also comes in the form of great health care services, centered around Stillwater Medical Center’s state of the art facilities. And with a cost of living that averages more than 10 percent below the U.S. average, the dollar buys more.

Whether you’re here for a short time or a lifetime, you’ll want to stake your claim in one of America’s great university cities… Stillwater, Oklahoma!

Founded in 1884, Stillwater offers a classic college-town atmosphere, and big-city access with Oklahoma City and Tulsa just an hour away.
