Claremore is located in Rogers County approximately 28 miles northeast of Tulsa. The current population is estimated around 16,800. A thriving downdown district with unique shops and restored homes attract people who prefer a charming community setting. Claremore was once part of a huge forest, home only to the wild animals. Osage Indians, led by Chief Glahmo, came from Missouri and established a fur Trading Post along the Verdigris River in 1802. The Trading Post was on a 25 acre mound which came to be known as Clermont, a French word meaning "clear mountain." Soon thereafter, Chief Glahmo became known as "Chief Clermont." It was intended to name the town after Chief Clermont; however, due to a clerical error, the name was listed as Claremore, which stuck... and that's how Claremore got its name.
