Boise City, OK

Boise City is a city located in Tulsa County, Oklahoma, United States. As of the 2010 census, the population was 10,822. The city is home to Oral Roberts University and the Tulsa Zoo. Boise City is also known for its golf courses and horse racing tracks.

The history of Boise City can be traced back to 1887 when the railroad was extended to that point. That year, a group of businessmen from Tulsa decided to locate a town near the new railroad station. They named their town "Boise" after the city in Idaho where they had been living. The first businesses in Boise were a hotel and a general store. In 1889, Boise had its first newspaper, which was called "The Outlook".

In 1907, Boise became an incorporated town with a population of 1,500 people. That year also saw the construction of the first brick building in Boise City – the post office. In 1909, oil was discovered near Boise City and within a few years there were more than 100 oil wells operating in and around town. By 1920, Boise had become one of Oklahoma's most important oil towns and it continued to grow rapidly throughout the 1920s and 1930s.

During World War II, many soldiers stationed at Fort Sill moved into town to take advantage of all that Boise City had to offer – including its many nightclubs and bars! After World War II ended, however, many soldiers left town – leaving behind an empty housing market that would eventually lead to another boom period for Boise City during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Today there are still plenty of places for people to enjoy themselves in downtown Boise – including several restaurants (including two high-end steak houses), several bars (including an Irish pub), two movie theaters (one with IMAX screens), three hotels (including one luxury property), two golf courses (one public course and one private club), as well as several shopping centers and boutiques
