Why this name?

Could anybody dig up an explanation for why the city is named Broken Arrow? Did someone lose an A-bomb there? ;-) 85.224.198.207 (talk) 18:19, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NOTEWORTHY

I was wondering why Hall of Famer,the great left handed pitcher, and long time resident of Broken Arrow (deceased at Broken Arrow 2003), Warren Spahn is not mentioned as a noteworthy resident???

Not Noteworthy

The article mentions that Broken Arrow is home to Matthew Paul Opper. This doesn't seem noteworthy and I'm assuming it's a joke or some such thing, so I'm deleting it. MafiaCapo 15:26, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Typos and Stuff

I corrected a few typos and a comma error. Katie234 03:13, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Auburn Cord

I've been to the museum. They were based in in Auburn, IN. Jhutchin 00:52, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Auburn Cord

The Auburn Cord Dusenburg Car company was started in Auburn, IN, but the company was eventually bought and Glenn Pray and moved to Broken Arrow in 1960 along with 600,000 pounds of car parts.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.89.202.118 (talk) 21:48, 11 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Northeastern?

Is Broken Arrow really north-eastern in Tulsa County? It looks to me from the dot on the map to be slightly in the southern portion. Also Broken Arrow is found south of Tulsa? Maybe I just suck at directions. JavaDog 03:27, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, I suck. I misread it. All fixed, etc. JavaDog 16:54, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

3rd largest city?

I have not seen any source outside this site officially moving BA past Norman and Lawton in population. While I would believe BA could have moved past Lawton at this point, I don't think it has passed Norman, as both BA and Norman are quickly growing. I find the comment in the article especially puzzling because it cites the population estimate as of 2004, but I specifically remember a report in the Tulsa World from the summer of 2005 that still had BA 5th with the most recent (at the time) population estimates. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.201.108.56 (talk) 05:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Schools

Should we start a page for every school above elementary? (Haskell, Childers, Oliver, Centenilel (wrong spelling),Seqoyah, North Int., South Int., and BA senior high.If so i can do North Int., and haskell.

No, you shouldn't. If you'd liek you can add specific sections for each school, assuming you have beneficial, encyclopedic information. JavaDog 20:30, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
