The land rush started on April 22, 1889 at high noon. By the end of the day, both the cities of Oklahoma City and Guthrie were founded and had 50,000 citizens each. The movement for settling Oklahoma and the Land Rush led to the terms booner and sooner which were then used for the University of Oklahomaâ??s fight song.
