Correct answer: The Land Rush of 1889

Oklahoma is known as the Sooner State because of the Land Rush of 1889. "Sooners" were settlers who snuck into the territory early to claim the best land before the official starting gun was fired. Initially a term for rule-breakers, it quickly became a proud symbol of the state's energetic spirit. Photo: Wikimedia Commons, Public domain.
