ybnorml Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Oklahoma is based on Choctaw Indian words which translate as red people (okla meaning "people" and humma meaning "red"). Recorded history for the name "Oklahoma" began with Spanish explorer Coronado in 1541 on his quest for the "Lost City of Gold." Oklahoma became the 46th state on November 16, 1907. I think this means the state of Oklahoma should be renamed also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
