Oklahoma, U.S. state in the South Central region.
Oklahoma is a state located in the South Central region of the United States and its name is derived from the Choctaw words 'okla' and 'humma', meaning 'red people'.
The land that makes up Oklahoma was added to the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.
The state's culture is greatly influenced by its American Indian and cowboy heritages, oil production history as well as a significant population of Native American people.
Oklahoma ranks among the lowest states in terms of property, income, and total tax burden, making it attractive for residency.
It is the only state that produces iodine, and one of the leading producers of natural gas.
