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 development often called the "Golden Age" of Indian Territory!.
