Collinsville is a growing community of approximately 9,800 residents at the northern edge of the Tulsa metropolitan area. Founded in 1897 and named for Dr. A.H. Collins, who established the town's first post office, Collinsville has deep roots in mining and industry. Its early prosperity came from coal mining and later from two large zinc smelters that opened in 1911.
Today, Collinsville has reinvented itself as a welcoming bedroom community with small-town character and convenient highway access to Tulsa. The community has seen steady residential growth, with new subdivisions attracting families who want more space and affordability than the inner suburbs provide.
The Collinsville News, founded in 1899, is the oldest newspaper in Tulsa County a reflection of the community enduring identity and continuity. Collinsville offers a strong school system, a community-oriented atmosphere, and access to the developing northern corridor of the Tulsa metro.
