History
Oklahoma City was founded on April 22, 1889, and was at first a tent city for 10,000 homesteaders. After World War II, the city grew thanks to the Interstate Highway System, which intersected three major highways there, and the discovery of oil within the city limits.Since 1993, the city has undergone several redevelopments, renovating various buildings and parks to the delight of residents and visitors alike.
Oklahoma City has gradually become a center for technology and health services, and enjoyed a surge of economic output since 2001.
