Quality of Life

Claremore is a city on the move. It is home to innovate global manufacturing, quality education, annual festivals and college athletics. From its lakes to its parks and mountain bike trails, Claremore gives you more time to enjoy yourself. Home to Will Rogers and America’s Mother Road, Claremore serves as a popular tourist destination with five museums, internationally renowned mountain bike trails and an award-winning rodeo. Claremore provides its residents with the many unique charms of "small-town" life but is still only minutes away from many "big city" attractions.

Community Spirit

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing measures were implemented across the county, forcing businesses to close their doors to the public. In this time of challenge, Rogers County residents rallied together to shop small and support local businesses. The community ordered curbside from local restaurant favorites, purchased gift cards from area stores, and focused on helping its neighbors. As a result, Claremore was one of the few cities to witness a sales tax increase, despite the challenging economic times.

To help aid in implementing distance learning and support the need for increased internet bandwidth, hotspots, and electronic devices, a Claremore manufacturer donated $35,000 to four Rogers County Schools. The company targeted the donation toward easing the technology and access barriers impacting school districts.
