The Oklahoma and Indian Territories were primarily created due to the forced removal of Native American tribes from their ancestral lands in the eastern United States during the 19th century, particularly through policies like the Indian Removal Act of 1830. The U.S. government aimed to open up these lands for white settlers and agriculture, leading to conflicts and treaties that displaced Indigenous populations. Additionally, the discovery of resources and the expansion of railroads further incentivized the establishment and settlement of these territories. The eventual merging of these territories into the state of Oklahoma in 1907 marked a significant shift in governance and land use.

Where do most people live in Oklahoma?

Oklahoma was originally called Indian Territory; both because some Indian tribes lived there originally, but others were 'deported' from their home territories into Oklahoma. So there are still Indian people living there - though now they may run profitable casinos rather than live subsistance lives in reserves. Then like other states, there have been waves of immigration from other states and from Europe since statehood in 1907. google2
