Oklahoma, numele oficial State of Oklahoma (în română Statul Oklahoma), este unul din cele 50 de state ale Statelor Unite ale Americii, care se găseşte în zona sudică a regiunilor cunoscute ca [The] Great Plains şi Eastern Woodlands, fiind în acelaşi timp parte a regiunii cunoscută sub numele afectiv de "American Heartland." The Congressional Quarterly and Census report place Oklahoma in the Southern United States. However, because of its location near the geographic center of the United States, Oklahoma is privy to Western, Southwestern, Midwestern, and Southern influences.
The regional influences are readily apparent in the state's largest urban areas, adding to Oklahoma's unique character. Oklahoma City, the state's capital, is more western, southwestern and midwestern in culture compared to Tulsa, the state's second largest city, which has southwestern, midwestern and southern influences. Southern influence and its charm are most notable in southeastern Oklahoma. This part of the state was earlier settled by many Southerners fleeing Union armies during the Post-Civil War era, and is commonly known as Little Dixie.
Oklahoma became the 46th state in the Union on November 16th, 1907. The state's name comes from the Choctaw words okla meaning people and humma meaning red, literally meaning "red people"[2] and was chosen by Allen Wright, Principal Chief of the Choctaw Nation between 1866 and 1870. [3] It is a state with a colorful history, including its days as a frontier state, it being a destination of recently freed slaves looking for opportunity and equality, and being at the heart of the oil boom in the early 20th Century. Individuals from Oklahoma are known as Oklahomans or "Okies" (though the latter phrase is considered mildly offensive).
Most notably, Oklahoma has the nation's second largest American Indian population. In honor of its large American Indian population, and for tourism purposes, Oklahoma is called "Native America." Oklahoma's early history is forever tied to the Trail of Tears, which was the forced removal of the Five Civilized Tribes from the southeastern United States to present-day Oklahoma. As a testament to the state's western and American Indian heritage, Oklahoma (Tulsa) is the home of the world-renowned Gilcrease Museum, which houses the world's largest, most comprehensive collection of American Western and American Indian art, artifacts, manuscripts, documents, and maps.

Oklahoma is one of the six states on the Frontier Strip. It is bounded on the east by Arkansas and Missouri, on the north by Kansas and northwest by Colorado (both at 37°N), on the far west by New Mexico (at 103°W), and on the south and near-west by Texas. The panhandle's southern boundary is at 36.5°N, then turning due south along 100°W to the southern fork of the Red River), completing the round trip back to Arkansas.
Oklahoma has approximately 11,611 miles of shoreline, slightly less than the estimated combined general (nontidal) coastline of the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Pacific, and Arctic Coasts which has 12,383 miles.[4]
Oklahoma has some of the strongest thunderstorms in the world because of cold and warm airmasses colliding east of the Rocky Mountains plus added force from the Jet Stream, making the state the heart of Tornado Alley.
