About Us

Vinita is located in Oklahoma’s Green Country, the perfect place to enjoy a friendly, small town environment with quick access to metro areas and the beautiful Grand Lake O’ the Cherokees. Historic Route 66 in Vinita is lined with a variety of shops, antique stores, cafés and more.  In fact, Cyrus Avery, known as the Father of Route 66, called Vinita home just prior to statehood.  In addition to authentic aspects of Route 66, visitors to Vinita can also enjoy a wealth of rich history.  A central part of the Cherokee Nation, home to one of the longest running rodeos in Oklahoma – the Will Rogers Memorial Rodeo, crossroads of two major railroads, and other treasures that make Vinita unique can be enjoyed throughout the city. Vinita Lake Park, located just north of town, provides a serene place for enjoying nature with activities including fishing, kayaking, and primitive camping.

All types of housing is available in the area from Vinita’s stately historic homes and established neighborhoods to small farms and ranches on our outskirts and Grand Lake front condos within 20 minutes from Vinita.  Our location is central to several colleges and universities and within 20 minutes of a campus of the Northeast Technology Center, part of a nationally recognized system of career and technology education. Quality schools, cost of living 23.9% lower than the national average and living in one of Oklahoma’s Top Ten Safest Cities are among the reasons people relocate to Vinita.
