Central Oklahoma is the geographical name for the central region of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. It is also known by the Oklahoma Department of Tourism designation, Frontier Country. Central Oklahoma is dominated by the largest city in the state, Oklahoma City, and its suburbs. Oklahoma City is the economic, tourism, commercial, industrial, financial, and geographical hub of Central Oklahoma and the state, as well as its primary cultural center, since having by far the vast majority of the state's population residing within the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area. The only Central Oklahoma city which is not officially considered a suburb of Oklahoma City is Stillwater, Oklahoma. ==Geography== Central Oklahoma is a humid-subtropical region dominated by the Cross Timbers, an area of prairie and patches of forest at the eastern extent of the Great Plains.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ecoregions of Oklahoma )〕 The region is essentially a transition buffer between the wetter and more forested Eastern Oklahoma and the semi-arid high plains of Western Oklahoma, and experiences extreme swings between dry and wet weather patterns. Climate is dominated by large differences in annual rainfall totals, with Central Oklahoma's western boundary receiving far less rain than compared to its eastern boundary. Because of these convergences of dry and wet weather patters, Central Oklahoma is at the heart of what is known as Tornado Alley, and is one of the most tornado-prone areas in the United States.
