Oologah (/ˌuːləˈɡɑː/ OO-lə-GAH) is a town in Rogers County, Oklahoma, United States. As of the 2020 census, Oologah had a population of 1,305. Renowned humorist Will Rogers was born on a ranch two miles east of Oologah, although he usually claimed Claremore as his birthplace "because nobody but an Indian can pronounce 'Oologah.'" There has been disagreement about the town name's proper spelling. It was often spelled "Oolagah" before statehood, and this spelling appears on some old buildings.
