Gardening in our area during the summer can be difficult, but it can be done! Our summers are often hot and dry, requiring gardeners to supply lots of water to make sure our veggie gardens stay nice and moist through the growing seasons.

BRIDGE CLOSED! The low-water bridge on 1st Street in Rolling Hills has been closed due to high water.

Though Catoosa was originally anchored as a cowtown, with ranchers settling the area in the 19th century, by 1901, the area had expanded to include six general stores, two doctors, three drugstores, two blacksmiths, a hotel, livestock dealers, a lumberyard, and a lawyer who served the town. On the map, you can see where Catoosa lies just over the territory of the Cherokee Nation in 1903.
