Stillwater is a forward-thinking city; proud of its past and alive with the youthful spirit and future-orientation of a university town and education community. Stillwater was part of the first Oklahoma Land Run held April 22, 1889, when the Unassigned Lands were opened for settlement and became the core of the new Oklahoma Territory. 

With its low crime rate and a cost of living below the U.S. average, Stillwater is consistently ranked among the nation’s top small cities for quality of life. Stillwater residents benefit from great schools and medical facilities; a vibrant downtown and quality shopping centers; numerous parks and recreational opportunities; and a wonderful public library.
