Glenpool is notable because the discovery of oil in 1905, which caused an economic boom that propelled the bump of Tulsa and its surroundings. Although the Glenn Pool field, for which the city was named, still produces a little amount of oil; the city is now primarily a commuter town for Tulsa.

On November 22, 1905, wildcatters, Robert Galbreath and Frank Chesley (along with, by some accounts, Charles Colcord), drilling for oil upon farmland owned by Creek Indian Ida E. Glenn, created the first oil gusher in what would soon be known as the “Glenn Pool”. The discovery set off a boom of lump for the area, bringing in hordes of people: lease buyers, producers, millionaires, laborers, tool suppliers, drunks, swindlers, and newspeople. Daily production soon exceeded 120,000 barrels (19,000 m). The simple city of Tulsa benefited from the production, and Glenpool calls itself the town that made Tulsa famous.

By the stop of 1906 a agreement consisting of twelve families had grown occurring nearby. In that year, the Midland Valley Railroad Elongated a track from Jenks. By 1907, nearly 3,000 people had moved to the area, but only roughly 500 people actually lived in the town in 1910. Lots were platted and a state office opened on January 31, 1908. The other community was renamed “Glenpool.”
