Black gold drew thousands of people to Tulsa, Okla., at the beginning of the 20th century. By 1930, Tulsa had been christened the \u201cOil Capital of the World\u201d and its more than 70,000 citizens were enjoying the spoils of wealth. The city created parks and rose gardens while its prosperous citizens invested in the construction of mansions, churches and museums. In the 1950s, Tulsa achieved another nickname: \u201cAmerica\u2019s Most Beautiful City\u201d.<\/p>\n
