Oklahoma
Oklahoma is a state in the south-central United States. The population is 3.451 million people (27th place in the USA; 2000 data). The capital and largest city is Oklahoma City. The name Oklahoma comes from the Choctaw Indian language, in which it means “red people”. The official nickname is the “Sooner State”.
Geography
Oklahoma has an area of 181,196 km2 (20th in the US). The state borders Arkansas and Missouri to the east, Texas to the south, New Mexico to the west, and Colorado and Kansas to the north.
History
Before the arrival of Europeans, Indian tribes lived in Oklahoma – Wichita, Kuapo, Caddo and Osage. In the 16th century, Spanish expeditions appeared here. Then for some time the territory was disputed between Spain and France.
In the 1830s, Oklahoma, which had the status of Indian Territory, became one of the places where the natives were resettled in accordance with the Indian Removal Act.
During the Civil War, different tribes of Indians supported different sides. In 1861, many tribes, in particular the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Seminole, entered into alliance agreements with the Confederates. After the war, in 1866, the federal government forced the Indians into new agreements. Most of the Indian territory passed to the US government.
Oklahoma officially became part of the United States on November 16, 1907, becoming the 46th state.
Economy
The economy of Oklahoma is based on the development of oil and gas fields, as well as agriculture and the food industry.
