WELCOME,
to America's Friendliest College Town, home of Oklahoma State University! Stillwater’s friendly smiles and welcoming spirit make it easy to understand why we were named one of the South's Friendliest Cities in 2018 and landed the #1 spot on the 10 Most Exciting Places in Oklahoma in 2015 by Movoto. Stillwater was ranked #12 on the list of 101 Best College Towns in America. We are home to America's Greatest Homecoming Celebration, considered sacred ground by the most loyal and true college football fans, the birth place of Red Dirt music, and where over 9,000 plates of famous cheese fries are served each month!
Our roots are in education and agriculture. OSU ranked as one of the "120 Best Western Colleges," in 2011 by the Princeton Review and was considered an "agricultural event mecca" by Meetings Focus in 2015.
Cheer on the Cowboys and Cowgirls of Oklahoma State University. Nothing compares to Stillwater's excitement and electricity on game days!
Make a day of Downtown Stillwater. While there, find the perfect pair of cowboy boots, savor a pilsner full of locally brewed craft beer or catch a live acoustic set outdoors.
