Bowden, originally known as Taneha,[2] is an unincorporated community in Creek County, Oklahoma, United States.[1] It is located four miles north of Sapulpa,[3] and is bisected by 433rd West Avenue and West 41st St. South. A post office operated in Bowden from June 9, 1909 to November 1, 1957.[3] The community was named after Sapulpa merchant Rollandus A. Bowden.[3] It developed as a boom town after the discovery of the Glenn Pool Oil Reserve.[2] but today is a small town with approximately 225 people.
