Claremore, Oklahoma

__TOC__

Economy

Claremore's economy is diversified. Baker Hughes has a large presence in the town, along with several other large companies in Claremore Industrial Park, which is only a few miles away from the Port of Catoosa on the Kerr-McClellan Navigational Channel (Verdigris River and Arkansas River). Farming and ranching are large parts of the local economy. Retail businesses are moving to Claremore in greater and greater numbers. Coal mining was an important local industry, but in the last 40 years many mines have been closed and environmentally restored.
