Mounds is a town[4] in Creek County, Oklahoma, United States.

In 1898, the town was moved 5 miles (8 km) southwest and renamed "Mounds" for twin hills that were nearby.

By 1901, the St. Louis, Oklahoma and Southern Railway (later the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway) built a track through Mounds, and the town became an important cattle shipping point.

[6] In the early days, Mounds was on the route of the Sapulpa & Interurban Railway (“S&I”) streetcar/interurban line connecting to Tulsa through Sapulpa, Kiefer and Glenpool; S&I subsequently went through a series of mergers and name changes, with only the Tulsa-to-Sapulpa portion continuing as the Tulsa-Sapulpa Union Railway.

Sapulpa, the Creek County seat, is 10 miles (16 km) north via U.S. 75A.

28.3% of all households were made up of individuals, and 15.4% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Enrollment in the Mounds public school district serves about 300 pupils.

The town of Liberty, Oklahoma was originally incorporated in 1978 by the Spradling family precisely to avoid annexation of the area by other communities, including Mounds.
