Tulsa, located in northeastern Oklahoma, USA, on the banks of the Arkansas River, is the second-largest city in the state and is known as the "Oil Capital of the World" and the "Art Capital of the U.S.A." In the early 1900's, the oil discovery led to a rapid rise to the center of the global energy industry. The city's rapid rise to global prominence in the early 20th century as a result of the oil discoveries has led to the creation of a global energy center, and the city still retains a rich heritage of the oil industry with historic landmarks such as the Kindred Oil Building. Today, Tulsa's economy has diversified to encompass aerospace, technology, and healthcare, and is an important base for companies such as Boeing and Chevron.
