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
downtown 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.

What is a state school of agriculture? Even though it was considered a
college, students received a high school diploma. They studied me-
chanics, the arts, domestic science and agriculture. The Broken Arrow
Ledger headline proclaimed “Broken Arrow Jubilant” and church bells rang throughout
the community after the announcement that the town had been selected as the loca-
tion of the Haskell State School of Agriculture. Broken Arrow had to furnish 80 acres
of land. The school was located at 808 E. College St. Plans were made for the design
of the building, which would need to serve 300 students. It was made of brick, with 14
rooms, and had three loors. Students came from 15 counties and boarded with local
families, as there were no dormitories. Besides the classroom building, other structures
were added to the property. There was a barn, creamery, caretaker’s house and poultry
houses. There were grain ields, gardens, a ish hatchery and pond. While the building
was still being built, classes began at the Opera House on Main Street. The cornerstone
was laid and a ceremony held in May 1910. The building was inished in May 1911. Due to
state appropriation cuts, the school was closed in 1917. The buildings and the land were
given to Broken Arrow Public Schools, which used the main structure for over 60 years.
Many remember it as the “Fine Arts Building.” It was listed on the National Register of
Historic Places in 1979. This is a program through the National Park System to “protect
America’s historic and archeological resources.” As the years went by, the building began
to deteriorate and, in 1987, the Broken Arrow Board of Education decided it needed to be
demolished.
