The last area of the western frontier to be settled was the Oklahoma Territory, particularly during the Land Rush of 1889. This event allowed settlers to claim land previously occupied by Native American tribes, marking a significant push into the unclaimed territories of the U.S. The settlement of Oklahoma effectively symbolized the closing of the American frontier, as it represented the final large-scale influx of settlers into previously uninhabited lands. By 1907, Oklahoma became a state, solidifying its status as the last frontier of the West.

Oklahoma is sometimes called the "American Frontier Lake State" due to its rich history as a frontier region and its abundance of lakes. The state was a significant area for westward expansion, and its diverse landscapes include numerous lakes and waterways that attract outdoor enthusiasts. Additionally, the nickname reflects Oklahoma's blend of natural beauty and its historical significance as a meeting point of various cultures and peoples in the American frontier era.
The Last Frontier
Alaska is called the last frontier because although the state is inhabited by people, there are parts of the state that still remain unexplored. These areas have not been mapped or charted in an accurate way.
