Slick is located on Highway 16, ten miles southeast of Bristow in Creek County. The town began after a discovery well was drilled in March 1920. Shortly after that, the town and surrounding area had a population of almost 5000. A railroad spur was built from Bristow to Slick and the town was booming. In the 1930s as the oil business dwindled, the town began to wane. Currently, all residents work in the towns of Bristow, Sapulpa or Tulsa. The post office continues to operate, but there is little else.

The Slick post office is housed in a rectangular metal building which is seen in many of the small towns across Oklahoma. The post office moved to this building in 1995.

Visit Instructions:
To post a log to an existing U.S. Post Office waymark, you will need to post a picture of the front of the building, with the name of the post office in the background if that is possible.

A description of your Post Office is required, such as when it was built, history, outstanding or unique features, population of the city or town, just do a quick internet search and find an interesting bit of information about the city or town and add it to the long description, to make it more interesting. Even just adding in the population of the area can give others an idea of how many people this post office serves. This description should be at least three sentences.

If your Post Office has any unusual or unique features that you feel others would enjoy viewing, additional pictures are always welcome.
Including your gps device in the picture is not necessary, but wouldn't be cause for disapproval, as long as all other details of your log are acceptable.
