The Oklahoma Land Rush - A Historical Phenomenon

The Oklahoma Land Rush was one of the most significant events in American history. The race began on April 22, 1889, at noon when a cannon blast signaled the official opening of millions of acres of land in the Unassigned Lands.

The Oklahoma Land Rush greatly shaped the social and cultural history of the region. It transformed small, scattered settlements into bustling towns and cities, fueled by the dreams of ordinary people seeking a better life.
