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.
