Centennial Monument in Centennial Plaza in front of City Hall, Ponca City, Kay County, Oklahoma, of a settler stepping off his horse to stake his claim of the Cherokee Strip. On September 16, 1893, more than 115,000 people raced to claim one of 42,000 parcels of land in the largest last land run in American history. The Cherokee Strip, originally the Cherokee Outlet, so called because it was the Cherokee's outlet to their hunting grounds in the Rocky Mountains. The "Strip" was a strip of the Outlet that extended north of the Kansas/Oklahoma border. It was 58 miles wide and 228 miles long (approximately 6½ million acres). |
