Bartlesville
Bartlesville
Bartlesville is a city in Osage and Washington counties in the U.S. state of Oklahoma. The population was 34,748 at the 2000 census. Bartlesville is located forty-seven miles north of Tulsa and very close to Oklahoma's northern border with Kansas. It is the county seat of Washington County, in which most of the city lies.
Bartlesville is notable as the longtime home of Phillips Petroleum Company, now
merged with Conoco as ConocoPhillips. Frank Phillips, who has a principal street
named after him (the hospital is named after his wife Jane), founded Phillips
Petroleum in Bartlesville in 1905 when the area was still Indian Territory.
Phillips has always been the largest employer. Chiefly white-collar workers are
employed by ConocoPhillips in Bartlesville, as the industrial extraction and
refining work is done elsewhere in the state and throughout the world.
The city has one daily newspaper and several radio stations. It is one of two
places in Oklahoma where a Lenape tribe lives, the other being Anadarko.
