OKLAHOMA CITY , a city and the county-seat of Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, U.S.A., on the North
Fork
  of the Canadian river, near the geographical centre of the state. Pop. (189o) 4151; (1900) 10,037; (1907) 32,452; (1910) 64,205. It is served by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa e, the Chicago,
Rock
 
Island
  & Pacific, the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas
 , and the St Louis & San Francisco railways, and by inter-urban electric lines. It lies partly in a valley, partly on an upland, in a rich agricultural region. The city is the seat of Epworth University (founded in 1901 by the
joint
  action of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South
 ). Oklahoma City's prosperity is due chiefly to its jobbing trade, with an extensive farming and stock-raising region, but it has also
cotton
  compresses and
cotton
  gins, and various manufactures. The total value of the factory products in 1905 was $3,670,730. Natural gas is largely used as a fuel. A large
settlement
  was established here on the 22nd of April 1889, the day on which the country was by proclamation declared open for
settlement
 . The city was chartered in 189o.
