About Oklahoma
Oklahoma was admitted to the Union on November 16, 1907, as the 46th state. Resulting from the combination of Indian and Oklahoma territories, the state retains marked features of its Native American heritage in the makeup of its population and the Indian place-names in the state.
Oklahoma lies in the western area of the south central United States. It is bordered by Colorado and Kansas on the north and Missouri and Arkansas on the east. South and west of Oklahoma is Texas, and on the western edge of Oklahoma’s Panhandle lies New Mexico.
Oklahoma is a land of great diversity, a transitional state both physically and culturally. Topographically it varies from the wooded mountains of the more humid east to the sparse and dry country of the western plains. Oklahoma’ economic activities reflect it’s changing landscape. These activities range from the growing of wheat in western and central areas to the logging that is done in the Ouachita Mountains in the southeastern end of the state.
The name Oklahoma was created by joining the Choctaw words for “red” and “people.” Part of the state’s area had been originally put aside for settlement of Native Americans and was known as Indian Territory. This is reflected today in Oklahoma’s Native American population, which is one of the largest in the country.
The other section of the state, which at the time was the Oklahoma Territory, was gradually opened for white settlement toward the end of the 19th century. Oklahoma earned its nickname the Sooner State because some land-hungry settlers, known as the Sooners, jumped the starting gun that was to open one section of the territory to settlers and rushed in to claim land before they were supposed to.
Oklahoma City is the state’s capital and largest city. Oklahoma City was settled on April 22, 1889, when the unassigned lands that surrounded it were opened for settlement in an event called “The Oklahoma Land Run”. Over 10,000 homesteaders settled in what is now downtown Oklahoma City, creating a tent city in a single day. The population doubled within 10 years, in what became a permanent settlement and the future capital of Oklahoma.
By the time Oklahoma was admitted to the Union in 1907, Oklahoma City had already supplanted Guthrie, the territorial capital, as the population center and commercial hub of the new state. Soon after, the capital was moved from Guthrie to Oklahoma City.
An oil boom in the 1920s spurred the city’s growth, but when the Depression hit, it hit hard, and it wasn’t until after WW II that the economy began to recover.
Tulsa is the second largest city in Oklahoma; located in Northeast Oklahoma, it is a part of the state many call Green Country. This city is considered the cultural and arts center of Oklahoma, boasting two world-renowned art museums, full-time professional opera and ballet companies, and a notable concentration of art deco architecture.
