Before statehood, when the Five Tribes or Five Civilized Tribes were moved to Oklahoma from the Eastern United States, the area that is now Coweta became part of the Creek Nation. Coweta was named after a Creek Indian war town on the Chattahoochee River in southwestern Georgia and was first settled by American Indians about 1840. In 1843 Robert Loughridge arrived in the area and established a mission, named "Koweta".
In 1867 after the Civil War, the Creek Indians adopted a constitution which divided their nation into six districts. Everything northeast of the Arkansas River, including Tulsa, became the Coweta district. The political center of this district was located in a log courthouse on Coweta Creek, about a quarter mile west from the modern day center of the downtown Coweta. The Post Office was established on May 24, 1897, and took its name from Koweta Mission. As a result of negotiations with the Congress appointed Dawes Commission regarding the allotment of tribal lands in 1898, the Creek courts’ jurisdiction was turned over to the Federal government.

This is one of many caches that I hope to put in Coweta. This is a great little town with great things to offer and I hope to share that with my fellow geocachers.
This cache is part of my downtown district tour. Once again there is a heavy muggle factor. Somewhat less on Saturday afternoons and Sunday. There are no U-Turns on this main business street and it is strictly enforced. If possible do not park directly in front of the business during regular hours due to the limited parking for the patron. Please pay attention to the signs because there is construction about a block away.
The coordinates are a combination of 12 different trips to verify. There are a lot of buildings and structures around, but I assure you the coordinates are correct. Let your GPSr settle before approaching.
This was placed with the owners permission. It is almost eye level so let your eyes wander a bit. I hope you enjoy downtown Coweta and while your at this location be sure to grab the benchmark at the SW corner of the nearby intersection.
