Coweta is a city in Wagoner County, Oklahoma, United States, a suburb of Tulsa. As of 2010, its population was 9,943. Part of the Creek Nation in Indian Territory before Oklahoma became a U.S. state, the town was first fixed in 1840.

Before statehood, when the Five Tribes or Five Civilized Tribes were moved to Indian Territory from the Southeastern United States, the area that is now Coweta was designated as allocation of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. Coweta was named after a Lower Creek town on the Chattahoochee River in southwestern Georgia. It was first contracted by Muscogee approximately 1840.

In 1843, Robert Loughridge, a Presbyterian minister, arrived in the area and usual a mission, named “Koweta”. He had gained Creek Council compliments for this the year before. Loughridge left Koweta in 1850 to supervise the newly completed Tullahassee Mission School. Both schools closed in 1861 at the outbreak of the American Civil War, when missionaries left the Territory.

In 1867 after the Civil War, the Creek Indians adopted a constitution combined to the model of the United States. In complement to government, it time-honored six districts for their nation. Everything northeast of the Arkansas River, including Tulsa, became the Coweta district. The political center of this district was located in a log courthouse upon Coweta Creek, about a quarter mile west of present-day center of downtown Coweta. The read out office was established on May 24, 1897, and took its read out from Koweta Mission.
