More About Vinita:
Vinita is located in northeastern Oklahoma, in the region of the state known as Green Country. A booming town along Route 66, is rich with vast prairies and lush rolling hills, not far from the Grand Lake of the Cherokees and the middle destination for Tulsa, Oklahoma and Joplin, Missouri.
Our community, a population of roughly 6000 plus citizens and roughly six square miles was founded in 1870. In 1898 the city was incorporated into Indian Territory and was located along the Texas cattle trail way. Even today, two major railway crossings are actively utilized.
Many people recognize our community along Interstate 44 with the “Will Rogers Archway” crossing the Interstate. Built in 1957, it was the world's first bridged restaurant home to the largest per square foot, McDonald's.
Our community welcomes visitors at the Cherokee Nation Anna Mitchell Cultural & Welcome Center.
