Town of Cromwell
WELCOME TO THE TOWN OF CROMWELL, OKLAHOMA
Located in northeastern Seminole County, Cromwell is situated on State Highway 56, one mile south of State Highway 99A. Muskogee oilman Joe I. Cromwell bought land near the Bruner Number One oil well, in the Greater Seminole Field and platted the original township in 1923. The oil-boom town exploded to a population of thousands in a matter of weeks. A post office was established on May 17, 1924. The lawless community soon earned the nickname "Cromwell the Wicked," and legendary lawman William "Bill" Tilghman was asked to come out of retirement at age seventy to establish law and order.
Our Monthly Board Meetings are the 2nd Monday of each month at 5:30pm. We have Public Hearings every 3 months before our monthly Board Meeting.
