Oklahoma - The OK state

State Capital: Oklahoma City
Admission to the union:
November 16th, 1907 as 46th state

Deep in the Bible Belt is energy rich Oklahoma, a prosperous agricultural state and home to 25 Native American languages. The state which was once Indian territory, roaming with bison is now home to many evangelical Christians who know how to enjoy their sports and the wide open spaces. The landscape and climate combine to provide the ideal conditions for spectacular thunderstorms and their wayward sister; twisters. Adverse conditions in the 1930’s saw parts of the state become a Dust Bowl which set the scene for one of America’s literary masterpieces, “The Grapes of Wrath”. Today’s visitors can really get to know the state in campervans or relaxing trips in the wide open spaces to enjoy outdoor activities.
