Welcome to Stilwell!

Stilwell, Oklahoma is where opportunities grow! Our city was founded in the late 1890s, and agriculture gave Stilwell a foundation for a strong local economy.

In the early 1930s, strawberries became a major crop here, with over 2,000 acres cultivated. In 1948, Stilwell Kiwanis Club organized a Strawberry Festival, which succeeded beyond all expectations. In 1949, the State of Oklahoma designated Stilwell "Strawberry Capital of the World."

Banks and manufacturing helped diversify our economy. Now major employers include Cherokee Nation Industries, Facet Manufacturing, Tyson Foods, and Schwan's. In 1971, the historic railway depot was deeded to the city, and today the Adair County Historical & Genealogical Association have created a local history museum there. It's also where our Chamber of Commerce is based.

The area enjoys gigabit internet service, and ICTC offers an excellent IT training program. We hope you'll explore our website.
