First settled in 1889, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma quickly became the largest city in the state by 1907.  Oil was discovered within the city in 1928, which created wealth in the area.

The city became a significant transportation hub after WWII.  During the Civil Rights era in 1958, the first sit in took place in the city.  After experiencing a decline in the city population towards the end of the 20th century, the city began an urban renewal project for downtown Oklahoma City in the 90's.

1995 was the year of the Oklahoma City bombing, when Timothy McVeigh detonated a truck of explosives in front of a federal building, killing 168 people.
