Frontier Strip
The Frontier Strip are the six states in the United States forming a north-south line from North Dakota to Texas. In the American Old West, westward from this strip was the frontier of the United States toward the latter part of the 19th century.〔Frederick Jackson Turner, ''(The Frontier In American History )''.〕〔Utley, Robert Marshall. The Indian Frontier of the American West, 1846-1890. Histories of the American frontier. Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1984.〕 The Frontier Strip states, or the Last American Frontier,〔Paxson, Frederic L. (The Last American Frontier ). New York: Macmillan, 1910.〕〔In later days and with the discovery of gold in the Klondike in 1896, a new frontier was opened up in the vast northern territory. Alaska afterward became known as "the last frontier.".〕 form a nearly straight line from north to south and roughly correspond to the Great Plains region of the United States.
==Description==
The term ''Frontier Strip'' is correlated to the 1880 census, where these six states, some of which were territories at the time, were part of the "Frontier Line," sometimes taken to be the 100th meridian west, the geographic designation by the U.S. Census Bureau that proclaimed where the civilization of the Eastern United States ended and the historic American Wild West began. In the 1890 census, it stated, "Up to and including 1880 the country had a frontier of settlement, but at present the unsettled area has been so broken into by isolated bodies of settlement that there can hardly be said to be a frontier line. In the discussion of its extent, its westward movement, etc., it can not, therefore, any longer have a place in the census reports."
