== Fun facts ==
* When the Jefferson Highway was first constructed through Eufaula, travelers and trade vehicles could cross the South Canadian River, about four miles below the town, only by ferry. The citizens of Eufaula incorporated The Jefferson Highway Bridge Company, and constructed the Jefferson Highway Bridge, at a cost of almost a quarter of a million dollars. It opened for use April 21, 1920.
* The residents of Eufaula were involved in a dispute with nearby Checotah, in what was known as the McIntosh County Seat War, during 1907 and 1909. The legislature had designated Checotah as the new county seat, but the people of Eufaula refused to hand over the county records. Soon after, a group of heavily armed men from Chectotah tried to seize the records from the courthouse in Eufaula, but were beaten back and forced to surrender during a gunfight. One year later, Eufaula was designated as the permanent seat of McIntosh County.
* Eufaula is home to Lake Eufaula, created as the reservoir for the Eufaula Dam. It is the largest lake contained entirely within the state of Oklahoma. Standing Rock, an historical monument, became submerged after the area behind the dam was flooded.
* Eufaula used to be a popular contest town, but it's been off the rotating schedule for years, so the contest hall it has is actually now a multi-purpose hall.
* Eufaula has a little bit of amenities to offer, but not much. It has a municipal airport, Fountainhead Lodge Airpark, dollar stores, McDonald's, Sonic Drive-In, Subway, a Creek Nation casino, Taco Mayo, a few RV parks, a little bit of local restaurants and businesses, a little bit of public battle fields, a sports complex, a Best Western, a Love's truck stop, McIntosh County Fairgrounds, Eagle Mountain Resort & Conference, a few auto parts places, Xtreme Amphitheater, and not much else.
