Brief History
Native American tribes, including the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Creek, originally inhabited the region. The U.S. government forcibly relocated many tribes to Oklahoma during the 19th century, marking the infamous Trail of Tears. In 1889, the Land Run opened the territory to non-Native settlers, rapidly increasing population and settlement. Oklahoma achieved statehood in 1907, joining the Union as the 46th state. The discovery of oil in the early 20th century spurred economic growth and industrialization. Throughout the 20th century, Oklahoma experienced social and economic transformations, including the Dust Bowl's impact during the 1930s. Today, the state reflects a complex history shaped by its indigenous heritage and settler expansion.

Geography of Oklahoma
Oklahoma's geography features a diverse landscape, encompassing plains, forests, and mountains. The state lies within the Great Plains and U.S. Interior Highlands, contributing to its varied topography. Oklahoma comprises ten distinct ecological regions, including the Ozark Plateau, the Ouachita Mountains, and the Red River Valley.
The climate in Oklahoma varies significantly across its regions, largely due to its position between humid subtropical and semi-arid zones. Eastern Oklahoma experiences a humid subtropical climate, characterized by hot summers and mild winters with ample rainfall. In contrast, western Oklahoma exhibits a semi-arid climate, with less precipitation and more extreme temperature variations. Tornadoes frequently occur, particularly in the central part of the state, as Oklahoma lies within Tornado Alley.
