Bowden, originally known as Taneha,[1] is an unincorporated community in Creek County, Oklahoma, United States. It is located four miles north of Sapulpa, 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.[2] The community was named after Sapulpa merchant Rollandus A. Bowden.[2] It developed as a boom town after the discovery of the Glenn Pool Oil Reserve.[1] but today is a small town with approximately 225 people.
