  • Oklahoma was among the states hardest hit by the Great Depression and the drought that created the Dust Bowl in the 1930s.

  • 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.
