Sooners
Sooners is the name given to settlers from the Southern United States who entered the Unassigned Lands in what is now the state of Oklahoma before President Grover Cleveland officially proclaimed them open to settlement on March 2, 1889 with the Indian Appropriations Act of 1889. The name derived from the "sooner clause" of the act, which stated that anyone who entered and occupied the land prior to the opening time would be denied the right to claim land.
Sooners is the adopted nickname of the University of Oklahoma football team and the U.S. state of Oklahoma is nicknamed the Sooner State.
==Characteristics==
Sooners were often deputy marshals, land surveyors, railroad employees, and others who were able to legally enter the territory early.〔City of Tulsa, Oklahoma. (The Land Run – Boomers vs. Sooners ). 2007-2008 Proposed Budget. Retrieved 2007-05-11.〕 Sooners who crossed into the territory illegally at night were originally called "moonshiners" because they had entered "by the light of the moon." These Sooners would hide in ditches at night and suddenly appear to stake their claim after the land run started, hours ahead of legal settlers.〔
