The Oklahoma Territory was the last to be settled primarily due to its designation as "Indian Territory," which was established to relocate Native American tribes from the eastern United States. The U.S. government initially restricted settlement in the area to protect Native lands. It wasn't until the Land Run of 1889 that settlers were allowed to claim land, spurred by the desire for new opportunities and fertile land. The late opening of Oklahoma for settlement was largely a result of ongoing conflicts and treaties with Native American tribes.

What was the last area of the western frontier to be settled?

The last area of the western frontier to be settled was the Oklahoma Territory, particularly during the Land Rush of 1889. This event allowed settlers to claim land previously occupied by Native American tribes, marking a significant push into the unclaimed territories of the U.S. The settlement of Oklahoma effectively symbolized the closing of the American frontier, as it represented the final large-scale influx of settlers into previously uninhabited lands. By 1907, Oklahoma became a state, solidifying its status as the last frontier of the West.
