Welcome to the Newto News for April of 2025. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Tulsa, Oklahoma was originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Osage, Creek, and Cherokee. The area was first settled by non-Native Americans in the late 19th century when the Creek Nation agreed to move to Indian Territory, which would later become Oklahoma. Tulsa quickly grew into a thriving trading post and a hub for the oil industry in the early 20th century. The discovery of oil in the area led to a population boom and the development of Tulsa as a major economic center. The city became known as the “Oil Capital of the World” and attracted people from all over the country in search of wealth and opportunity. Tulsa faced challenges during the Great Depression, but rebounded in the post-World War II era with the growth of industries such as aerospace and technology. Today, Tulsa is a vibrant city known for its cultural attractions, thriving arts scene, and strong economy.
