Northeastern Oklahoma : ウィキペディア英語版 | Green Country
Green Country, sometimes referred to as Northeast Oklahoma, is the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of Oklahoma, which lies west of the northern half of Arkansas, corner of Missouri, and south of Kansas. The region is noted for its mild rainy climate and beautiful scenery. ==Alternate definitions== Its name was devised in the 1960s by the Oklahoma Department of Tourism and Recreation as one of six travel destination regions within the state, but is the most historically significant of all of them, as the name's usage can be traced to the early part of the 20th century. Another alternate usage of the term can include solely the immediate vicinity of Green Country's principal city, Tulsa; the Tulsa Metropolitan Area or the city of Tulsa proper is often referred to as "Green Country" in its own right. In this case, the terms "Tulsa Metropolitan Area" and "Green County" are used interchangeably. The region derives its name from the heavily wooded area with many rolling hills and mountains and much foliage, as opposed to western and central Oklahoma, which have geography similar to the rest of the Great Plains region of the United States. Average precipitation totals in Green Country are generally above 40 inches per year, thus making it considerably wetter and greener than most of the state. The area is also one of the most populous regions of Oklahoma, and is home to some of its largest cities.
