Oklahoma was the 46th state to join the union after it was bought in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The state’s name is derived from the Choctaw words “okla” and “humma”, which mean “red people”. Oklahoma’s state capitol building is the only capitol built on an oil well. Oklahoma is also the only state to produce iodine and one of four states producing helium.
