Oklahoma City Vacation Guide
Hitting its stride in the early part of the 21st Century, Oklahoma City has started to grow into a vibrant place full of life and intrigue.
Getting its start with the cannon booms of the 1889 Land Run, Oklahoma City went from a dusty prairie to a city of over 10,000 people in just one day and night. Where open land once sat, massive tent cities filled the area. Eventually, brick buildings (now Bricktown) were built and OKC quickly became the main trading point for the area. The City -- as its now called -- grew so fast that a group of citizens stole the state seal from territorial capital Guthrie to make OKC the capital city.
OKC has grown from a dusty, blue-collar cowtown and is emerging as a bright, forward-thinking metropolis of just over a half million population as Oklahoma heads into its second century. From the Bombing Memorial to great nightlife, OKC is a city that's growing fast and on the way up.
