the past decade Claremore has experienced growth rates that exceed state
averages. Claremore/Rogers County has been ranked as the fastest and second
fastest growing city and county seat in Oklahoma. The geographic location of
Claremore and the easy accessibility from major highways, turnpikes,
airports, rail system, and the proximity to the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas
River Navigational System allows Claremore to be the gateway to beautiful
northeast Oklahoma. |

| Claremore
was once part of a huge forest, home only to the wild animals. Osage
Indians, led by Chief Glahmo, came from Missouri and established a fur
Trading Post along the Verdigris River in 1802. The Trading Post was on
a 25 acre mound which came to be known as Clermont, a French word
meaning "clear mountain." Soon thereafter, Chief Glahmo became known as
"Chief Clermont." It was intended to name the town after Chief
Clermont; however, due to a clerical error, the name was listed as
Claremore, which stuck... and that's how Claremore got its name. |
