Oklahoma City came into dramatic existence
with the boom of a cannon on April 22, 1889,
and has grown from Indian tepees to towering
skyscrapers. On the morning of the govern-
ment's land opening in 1889, there was only an
unpeopled prairie to mark the site of the city,
but before nightfall, ten thousand persons from
practically every state in the union had banded
together to form a new city -- Oklahoma City.
They had raced to this city of destiny as
shouting horde, by horseback, wagon train and
by foot.
