Salina - Northeast (Green Country) | ||||||||
The city of Salina was founded in 1796 and is the oldest permanent American settlement in the state of Oklahoma. The name Salina was derived from saline, which came from the local salt wells in the vicinity. Salina sits on beautiful Lake Hudson, and the surrounding environment is lush with native plants, wildflowers, and trees. The dense deciduous forests prevalent in this region provide a safe and natural habitat for the abundance of wildlife that can still be found. The terrain is very hilly, and somewhat mountainous, and is considered to be a part of the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. Recreation opportunities abound in the area with Lake Hudson providing a wealth of water and sport activities. Browse the shops downtown, ranging from homemade crafts to Native American art treasures. Several annual events (Chouteau Day is on October 10th of each year) celebrate the rich Native American heritage and the founding of the city.
