About Broken ArrowBroken Arrow is Oklahoma’s fourth-largest city and Tulsa’s
largest suburb, with an estimated population of 100,073 in
2011. It is also one of the state’s fastest-growing cities, adding
more than 25,000 residents and a slew of big-box retailers
since 2000. Known for quiet suburban life and short com-
mutes to Tulsa, Broken Arrow has been named by national
publications as one of the best 100 places to live, one of the 10
best places for families, one of the 25 safest cities in America
and one of the most afordable suburbs in the south. A down-
town revitalization efort that began in 2005 has aimed to
create an arts and entertainment district centered on the city’s
Main Street, and several new restaurants, a historical museum
and a performing arts center have headlined the recent down-
town improvements.

On Thursday the Broken Arrow
Historical Society lost a dear friend,
tireless supporter, former president and
gifted historian. The community of Broken
Arrow lost a man who loved Broken
Arrow with his whole heart. Words fail
to describe his dedication to our city.
Born on a houseboat on the Mississippi
River, Howard Fisher and his family soon
came to Broken Arrow and made our
community their home. He graduated
from Broken Arrow. He served our country
in World War II. He had a 40-year career
with Dickason Goodman Lumber Co..
Howard’s dedication helped shape our
community into what it is today. From
Boy Scouts to the American Legion, he
found the time to make Broken Arrow
a great place to live. He volunteered
as a ireman for 20 years and served as
ire chief. He served in leadership roles
including a term as the 1957 president of
the Broken Arrow Chamber of Commerce.
He received numerous awards for his
dedication and service to Broken Arrow,
including 1957 Outstanding Citizen of
the Year from the Broken Arrow Ledger
and Honorary Mayor of Broken Arrow
in 1989. Howard collected our history in
his home and garage for years. In 1975,
a meeting was held to discuss forming a
historical society. Howard always joked he
was late and in his absence he was elected
our irst president. Those of us who knew
him knew he was destined to be our irst
president. His reputation as a saver led
people to seek him out with their artifacts
and photographs. One of his favorite
events was our annual Pioneer Dinner for
which he was the longtime chairman. He
loved visiting with people and sharing our
history. Broken Arrow lost one of its most
beloved citizens on Thursday. He will be
sorely missed.
