Although one of the youngest states in the nation, Oklahoma is a land that reaches far
back in time. Oklahoma’s recorded history began in 1541 when Spanish explorer
Coronado ventured through the area on his quest for the “Lost City of Gold.” The land
that would eventually be known as Oklahoma was part of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase.
Beginning in the 1820s, the Five Civilized Tribes from the southeastern United States
were relocated to Indian Territory over numerous routes, the most famous being the
Cherokee “Trail of Tears.” Forced off their ancestral lands
by state and federal governments, the tribes suffered great
hardships during the rigorous trips west. The survivors
eventually recovered from the dislocation through hard work
and communal support. Gradually, new institutions and
cultural adaptations emerged and began a period of rapid
developments often called the “Golden Age” of Indian
Territory.
