Depends on which period of time. Under Cornodo, it was called "Quivera." The French called it the Great Plains. Lewis and Clark called it Buffalow because of the "shaggy cows." It was called "The Great North American Desert" and uninhabitable by Stephen Long after Zebulon Pike first referred it "like the sandy deserts of Africa." After the the Louisiana Purchase, it was broken into the Kansas Territory and the Indian Territory (current day Oklahoma).

Today, Kansas and Oklahoma prevents Texas from falling into the Gulf of Mexico because they suck...LOL
