Moving History in Tulsa

Tulsa was part of Indian Territory, which was created as part of the relocation of the Five Civilized Tribes - the Choctaw, Cherokee, Muscogee(Creek), Chickasaw, and Seminole peoples. These Native American tribes moved into the region after the passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, when they were forced to surrender their lands east of the Mississippi River to the federal government in exchange for land in Indian Territory. The city now known as Tulsa was first settled by the Lochapoka (Turtle Clan) Muscogee(Creek) between 1828 and 1836. Driven from their native Alabama, the Lochapokas established a new home at a site near present-day Cheyenne Avenue and 18th Street. Under a large burr oak, now called the Creek Council Oak Tree, they rekindled their ceremonial fire. The Lochapoka named their new settlement "Tulasi," meaning "old town" in their native language.

Any business, especially a fourth generation moving and storage company like All My Sons, can learn a lot from the history of their industry and the history of their company. All My Sons Moving & Storage has come a long way from our very first move, performed with an ice truck and the careful hands of our founder and his son. We’ve grown with the industry throughout the years, and our Tulsa movers understand the ebb and flow of our surroundings and are flexible enough to adjust to whatever life brings our loyal customers, neighbors and friends. All My Sons has consistently led the way in innovative moving and storage services that only get better and better with each new year. We’ve grown our business based on a family-centered foundation of hard work and honesty exchange, and we’ve also expanded our services to cover virtually every moving and storage need for you.
