The western boundary of Oklahoma was unusually determined by a combination of historical treaties, land runs, and the establishment of the Oklahoma Territory in 1890. Unlike many states, which often had clearly defined borders based on geographic features or previous land claims, Oklahoma's boundaries were shaped by the opening of land previously reserved for Native American tribes. The boundary was established as a straight line, which was uncommon and resulted in a unique configuration for the state, reflecting a mix of territorial expansion and federal policies toward Native lands.
