Broken Arrow in Tulsa County, Oklahoma — The American South (West South Central)
City Water Spring
For years, beginning in 1909, pure sparkling water from a spring here was piped to the water tower behind City Hall. The city grew Christmas trees here during the Depression and sold them in town. As new water sources were secured for the growing town this area was landscaped for the beautiful Ray Harral Nature Park.
