Tulsa was founded in the late 1800s and was named after the Tallasi, a Native American tribe that lived in the area. The city was originally a small frontier town but grew rapidly in the early 20th century, thanks to the discovery of oil in the area.
Tulsa became a major hub for the oil industry and was known as the "Oil Capital of the World." The city's economy was heavily dependent on the oil industry and it became one of the wealthiest cities in the United States.
In recent years, Tulsa has diversified its economy and is now home to a number of major corporations, such as American Airlines and Williams Companies. The city is also known for its cultural institutions, such as the Philbrook Museum of Art and the Tulsa Performing Arts Center.
