24/7 Biohazard and Crime Scene Cleanup in Eufaula, OK

Eufaula is a city in and the county seat of McIntosh County in eastern Oklahoma, lying within the jurisdiction of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.

Eufaula takes its name from Eufaula, a tribal town of the Muscogee Creek people in Alabama, whose descendants re-established the community in Indian Territory after their forced removal in the 1830s.

Eufaula grew up around a Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railway (KATY) station built in 1872 and had incorporated as a town in Indian Territory by 1898.

Eufaula won the McIntosh County Seat War of 1907-1909, when armed men from rival Checotah tried to seize the county records from the Eufaula courthouse and were beaten back in a gunfight; Eufaula was confirmed as the permanent county seat a year later.

Eufaula sits on Lake Eufaula, created by the completion of Eufaula Dam in 1964 — the largest lake contained entirely within Oklahoma — and nearly a third of the city's total area is water.

Eufaula's population was 2,766 in the 2020 census, in about 1,152 households, and with a median age of 47.3 years it has one of the older age profiles of Oklahoma's county seats.

Eufaula is home to The Eufaula Indian Journal, first published in 1876 and recognized as the oldest continuously published newspaper in Oklahoma.

Eufaula's Indian Journal was once edited by the celebrated Muscogee poet and humorist Alexander Posey, who published his famous Fus Fixico letters about Creek politics in its pages.

Eufaula's Jefferson Highway Bridge, opened on April 21, 1920, was the most expensive bridge built on the entire Jefferson Highway between Winnipeg, Canada, and New Orleans; its site now lies beneath Lake Eufaula.

Eufaula's historic downtown business district and its red-brick McIntosh County Courthouse are both listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
