The Coweta post office is located at 215 W. Sycamore, in this town of approximately 9000, 25 miles southeast of downtown Tulsa.

Hours: M-F 8:30-4:30
Sat. 9:30-11:00

In 1843, the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions started the Koweta Mission in this area, as a school for Creek Indians. On May 24, 1897, a post office was established here and the town was named Coweta, the name of a Creek town on the Chattahoochee River in Alabama.

There are two sites in town on the National Register of Historic Places. The Koweta Mission (all that remains is the cemetery), added to the Register in 1973 and the First Presbyterian Church, also known as Mission Bell Museum which was added in 2003.

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.
