A panhandle is a narrow strip of land projecting from the primary land of a state or country into another state or country. The Florida panhandle is an example of a panhandle. It is the northwestern area of Florida that projects out so that it is between Alabama to the north and the Gulf of Mexico to the south.
The Panhandle region of Oklahoma typically experiences hot summers with temperatures often exceeding 90°F (32°C) and cold winters with temperatures below freezing. The region has low precipitation levels throughout the year, resulting in a semi-arid climate with occasional drought conditions.
Anthropological evidence suggests that the ancestors of the Apache peoples lived in the area of Alaska, Canada, and/or the Pacific Northwest before migrating to the Southwest sometime between AD 1200 and 1500 and became the separate group now identified as the Apache tribe. The Apaches' nomadic way of life complicates accurate dating, because they constructed less substantial dwellings than other Southwestern groups.
