The “Unassigned Lands” in central Oklahoma became part of the public domain. The federal government surveyed this land and began distributing it to private ownership in 1889. “No Man's Land” (the Oklahoma Panhandle) was added to the public domain and made available for settlement in May 1890. Individuals could acquire land from the government through cash purchases or by homesteading the land. Claims had to be registered at land offices. The first land offices were established at Guthrie and Kingfisher. | The “Unassigned Lands” in central Oklahoma became part of the public domain.
