Norman - Central (Frontier Country) | ||||||||
The state's nickname and University of Oklahoma mascot both share the name "Sooner," which was used to describe those settlers who headed west before the official land run date of April 22, 1889. Since that time, Norman has grown into a vibrant community rich with history, activity, and culture. Oklahoma's third largest city is home to performing arts, unique museums and galleries, year-round festivals, and nationally recognized sports teams. Bring your family to experience world-class attractions, lodging and restaurants, all in the unique environment of a university community. Discover "Sooner Magic" with a tour of the historic campus. One of the leading public universities, OU is located on a beautiful and majestic campus featuring inspiring architecture, innovative sculptures and serene parks with flowers galore! Then take the journey through 300 million years of natural history at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History. One of the nation's finest university-based museums, the Sam Noble will launch visitors into the past with 50,000 square feet of exhibit space including five breathtaking galleries.
