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 has the largest American Indian population of any state. Many of the 252,420 American Indians living in Oklahoma today are descendants from the original 67 tribes inhabiting Indian Territory.
