interesting facts

  • On April 22, 1889, land opened for white settlement in Oklahoma. Some people entered in "sooner" than they were supposed to. They became known as Sooners. Eventually that nickname spread to all Oklahomans.

  • Oklahoma's state capitol building is the only capitol in the world with an oil well under it. Although its legal description is Capitol Site #1, it is referred to as Petunia #1 because it was originally drilled in the middle of a flower bed.
