Located in the South-Central region of the United States, Oklahoma is the 20th largest state in terms of physical area and the 28th largest in terms of population. This state has borders with Missouri, Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Arkansas, and Colorado, and covers an area of 69,899 square miles in total. Oklahoma has an estimated population of 3.93 million. Nicknamed 'Native America' and the 'Sonner State', Oklahoma's official name comes from Native American Choctaw words 'okla' and 'humma' which mean 'red people' when put together. The 'Sooner State' nickname of Oklahoma is used in reference to the people who claimed parts of the land as their own before they were officially allowed to do so.
