Oklahoma and its panhandle make a lot more sense! ;-)
i knew this one. but i just looked up a map of oklahoma, and now i have a whole slew of other questions.
TIL... Miami is the capital of Ottawa (wtf), El Reno is the capital of Canadian (wtaf) and Guymon is the capital of Texas (this one is a true onomastical nightmare)
and i thought Kansas City was bad....why are you guys like this????
😂😂😂 I bet folks named a lot of places either after a local tribe, or a place they knew from somewhere else. Some are creative like "Bug Tussle". I'd like to know the background of that town!!! Oklahoma had a land rush in the late 1800's where people literally raced across the state and staked claims. I think there was a lot of independent growth at that time that didn't fit any kind of modern planning model. 😂😂😂
