The Great Plains are a natural prairie that has existed for many thousands of years.
However, parts of the plains in and around Oklahoma (the so-called Dust Bowl) were made less fertile by unwise farming activities in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Disastrous dust storms broke out during a sustained drought between 1934 and 1940, leaving many farms destroyed and towns deserted.
