About Oklahoma

Oklahoma is a state in the South Central region of the United States, bordered by the states of Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, and Colorado. The state's name is derived from the Choctaw words okla and humma, meaning "red people". It is the 20th-most extensive and the 28th-most populous of the fifty United States. The state's residents are known as Oklahomans (or informally Okies), and its capital and largest city is Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma is the second-largest producer of natural gas, the fifth-largest producer of oil, and the ninth-largest producer of wind power in the United States. In 2007, it was one of the top ten states for per capita income growth and job growth. Oklahoma City and Tulsa serve as Oklahoma's primary economic anchors, with nearly two-thirds of Oklahomans living within their metropolitan statistical areas.

With ancient mountain ranges, prairies, rivers and forests stretching from its eastern border with Arkansas and Missouri to its western border with Texas and New Mexico, Oklahoma is a land of contrasts. The state's highest point is Black Mesa at 4,973 feet (1,516 m), and its lowest point is on the Little River near its far southeastern corner, which dips to 289 feet (88 m).

Inhabited by Native Americans for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans, Oklahoma was formally admitted to the United States as a state in 1907, coining the state motto, Labor Conquers All Things. Oklahoma is home to 25 Native American tribes, as well as the Five Civilized Tribes. It also has the second-largest American Indian population of any state.

Oklahoma's landscape is diverse with forested hills and mountains in the east, transitioning to a more arid, Great Plains region in the center of the state, and then to the semi-arid high plains and prairies of the state's western panhandle. Most of Oklahoma lies in the Great Plains, Cross Timbers, and the U.S. Interior Highlands—a region especially prone to severe weather. The state is prone to severe tornadoes, with about sixteen tornadoes occurring in Oklahoma each year, more than in any other state except Texas.
