Oklahoma.
The Indian Appropriations Act of 1889 was passed which allowed president Benjamin Harrison to open 2 million acres of land for settlement in Oklahoma. The area was considered as the best to settle. This saw a great land rush by many people reaching early and hiding there (called sooner). The legal time was 12 noon on April 22, 1889. The people who entered at the legal time were called boomers.
Within half day time, Oklahoma had cities with population of 10,000 which indicates the rush to occupy these empty lands.
