During the 19th century, more than thousands of Native Americans were expelled from their ancestral homeland from all parts of North America and transported to the area including and surrounding Oklahoma. Choctaw is the first of "Five civilized Tribes" to be removed from the southeastern United States. The phrase "Trail of Tears" is derived from the description of the Choctaw Nation abolition in 1831, although the term is usually used for the removal of Cherokees About 17,000 Cherokees along with approximately 2,000 black slaves owned by Cherokee itself. removed from their homes. Area that was already occupied by tribes of Osage and Quapaw, Choctaw Nation to be called for American policy and then revised the original America redefined the boundaries to include other Native Americans. By 1890, more than 30 countries and Native American tribes have been concentrated in the land in Indian Territory or the current "State of India." Many Native Americans served in the Union and Confederate military during the American Civil War. Cherokee Nation has an internal civil war that slavery was not abolished in Oklahoma until 1866.

during the period between 1866 and 1899, cattle ranch in Texas trying to meet the demands for food in eastern cities and railroads in Kansas promised to deliver in a timely manner. Cattle and cattle breeding lines developed as cowboys either drove their product north or settled illegally in Indian Territory In 1881, four out of five major cattle lines at the western border of the journey through the Indian Territory. Increased presence of white settlers. Government of India encouraged the United States to establish the Dawes Act in 1887, which divides the territories of individual tribes into allotments for individual families, encouraging farming and private land ownership among Native Americans, but took over the land to the federal government. In the process, almost half of the Indian-held land to settlers in the region is taken out and for purchase by the railroad.

Typically, open land for settlers on the basis of first come first served. Those who violate the rules by crossing the border into the territory before being allowed to be said to have crossed the border more quickly, leading to long sooners, which eventually became the official state nickname.

The delegation aims to make the region a state began near the end of the 19th century, when the Curtis Act furthered the allotment of tribal lands of India. Efforts to create an all-Indian state named Oklahoma and then attempt to create an all-Indian state named Sequoyah failed, but state Sequoyah Convention of 1905 eventually laid the groundwork for the Convention of Oklahoma statehood, which lasted two years later. On November 16, 1907, Oklahoma was established as the 46th state in the Union.

During the twenty years ending in 1950, the country saw only the history of population decline, dropping 6.9 percent. In response, dramatic efforts in soil conservation and water caused massive flooding control systems and dams, creating hundreds of reservoirs and artificial lakes. In 1960, more than 200 lakes have been created, most in the nation.
In 1995, Oklahoma City became the place of one of the worst act of terrorism ever conducted in American history.
