The origin of Tulsa began in the late 1820s with the removal of the Creek from their ancestral homes in Alabama and Georgia. After their arrival in 1833, the Lower Creek settled in present-day Tulsa by negotiating a treaty with the Cherokee and positioning the boundaries between the two nations. The border, which was laid out, ran along the twenty-first century's Edison Street. The Creek held council meetings at the Council Oaktree. This Oaktree is located on Eighteenth Street between Boulder and Cheyenne avenues. Loachapoka, the creek band, deposited ashes that they brought from their last fires in Alabama here. The settlers then named their new area "Tallasi," a Creek language that means "old town" and is now known as Tulsa. In 1879, George Perryman established a ranch that covered most of present southern Tulsa. The ranch house, located close to the present Thirty-eighth and Trenton street, later became the first post office of Tulsa. Josiah Chouteau Perryman was the first appointed postmaster. In 1882, the arrival of the San Francisco and St Louis railroad brought development to the city. This same year, the first store was opened by Harry C. Hall to serve the railroad workers. Tulsa began to grow even more as the first building included a section house, a depot, stores, a hotel, residences, a police station, and a barbers shop. Tulsa was incorporated on January 18, 1898, and Edward Calkins was elected as the city's first mayor. The city's population grew to thousands after its incorporation. Oil field workers flocked to Tulsa after the Hotel Tulsa opened as one of the finest in the Midwest in May 1912. The city was then nicknamed "the Oil Capital of the World."
