Oklahoma's fourth and largest Land Run began at noon on September 16, 1893, when over a hundred thousand people gathered for a chance to begin new lives in the former Cherokee Outlet. The agreement in which the US Government purchased this land also allowed for Cherokees to establish homesteads here, and many did so. Sixty thousand new homesteads were established on six million acres, and seven new counties were formed from these former grazing lands. This represents the largest human migrations in Oklahoma history.
