The territory that is now Oklahoma was included in the Louisiana Purchase (1803). The area came under US control after the Civil War and consisted of three parts: the east and southeast were the Indian Territory (1834), the central section the Oklahoma Territory (1890), and the thin strip north of Texas (the panhandle), which was "No Man's Land" following the Compromise of 1850 and Kansas Statehood. The panhandle's designation as Cimarron Territory in 1862 was not recognized, and it became Beaver County in the Oklahoma territory. Following the failure of the Indian state of Sequoyah in 1905, the state of Oklahoma was formed from the two territories in 1907.
