Southwestern Oklahoma

Southwest Oklahoma is a geographical name for the southwest portion of the state of Oklahoma, typically considered to be south of the Canadian River, extending eastward from the Texas border to a line roughly from Weatherford, to Anadarko, to Duncan. The region has an official designation created for tourism purposes, Great Plains Country.〔(Great Plains Country ) (accessed May 1, 2010)〕
Anchored by Lawton, its largest city, Southwest Oklahoma's other important urban centers include Elk City, Clinton, Weatherford, Walters, Altus, and Duncan.
==History==
One section of the 1890 Organic Act established that a lawsuit should be filed to clarify the boundary between Oklahoma and Texas.〔Heisch, John D., "(Old Greer County )," ''(Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture )'' (accessed June 17, 2010).〕 The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1896 that what had been considered part of Texas would now be part of Oklahoma Territory.〔 The area makes up the southwestern corner of Oklahoma and today consists of Beckham County, Harmon County, Jackson County, and Greer County.〔
Another portion of Southwestern Oklahoma was opened up through the Land Run of 1892. Land formerly owned by the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes became Oklahoma Territory and today includes Blaine County, Dewey County, Custer County, and Roger Mills County and Washita County.〔Reggio, Michael H., "(Cheyenne-Arapaho Land Opening )," ''(Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture )'' (accessed June 17, 2010).〕
The area's regional college was established in 1901 as a normal school in Weatherford, Oklahoma.〔Nye, Jerry G., "(Southwestern Oklahoma State University )," ''(Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture )'' (accessed June 17, 2010).〕 The school became Southwestern State Teachers College in 1920 and established a pharmacy department in 1939.〔 In 1974, the institution was renamed Southwestern Oklahoma State University.〔
