About Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City is the capital of Oklahoma, a plains city of Western heritage, a restored canal district and a moving memorial.

Oklahoma City sits on the plains of central Oklahoma and was born in a day: on 22 April 1889, thousands of settlers rushed in to claim land in the Land Run, and a tent city stood by evening. The Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum honours the 168 people killed in the bombing of 1995, with a field of empty chairs, a reflecting pool and a surviving elm tree.
