Cromwell, OK

Cromwell started out wild in the 1920s, popping up almost overnight during the local oil boom. Back then, it earned the nickname "Cromwell the Wicked" thanks to a rush of saloons and outlaws, prompting legendary lawman Bill Tilghman to come out of retirement at seventy to help restore order. Today, things are far quieter. Located in Seminole County within the Muscogee Nation, it has settled into a peaceful rural community where those rowdy frontier days are remembered as colorful local history.
