Oklahoma is a state located in the southern Great Plains and Eastern Woodlands regions of the United States. It is "Native America" and the "Sooner State", and is part of a region commonly known as the American "Heartland." Oklahoma City is the state's capital and largest city. Oklahoma became the 46th state in the Union on November 16th, 1907. The state's highest peak, 4,973 feet (1,515 m) Black Mesa, lies in the far northwestern corner of the panhandle near the town of Kenton. The lowest elevation is in the far southeastern of the state, near Idabel, at 324 feet (99 m). Oklahoma is a major fuel and food-producing state; thousands of oil and natural gas wells dot the Oklahoma landscape, and the state is among the highest food producing states in the nation. Its main agricultural outputs are soy, wheat, cattle, dairy, poultry, and cotton. |
