The Oklahoma Land Rush, which began on April 22, 1889, was a significant event in U.S. history where thousands of settlers raced to claim unassigned lands in what is now Oklahoma. The government opened up these territories for settlement as part of its efforts to encourage westward expansion. Participants, known as "boomers," sought to stake their claims on plots of land, often resulting in chaotic and competitive rushes. This event played a crucial role in shaping the settlement patterns and development of the American West.
