Oklahoma
Official State Web Site
lsb.state.ok.us/
The name Oklahoma
comes from two Choctaw Indian words, okla, which means
"people," and humma, which means "red." In 1889,
Congress opened up 2 million acres for white settlement (it was previously
open only to Native Americans who were forced to leave their homelands), and
the first of a number of land runs began. Some of the state's settlers were
called "Sooners" because they had already staked their land claims
before the land was officially opened for settlement. Oklahoma was admitted
as the 46th state in 1907. Oklahoma's capital is an easy one to
remember--Oklahoma City. The state flower is the mistletoe, a favorite for
kissing under during the winter holidays.
