The original use of the term 'panhandle' refers to the description of land that resembles the handle of a pot or pan. During the dust bowl years of the 1930s, as the continuous dust storms drove people from their homes to wander the roads with no means of support, the term began to be used for the homeless, begging for food on the roads and in the towns of America to refer to people looking for handouts whether they came from the Oklahoma panhandle or anywhere else.
