Lee, If you go to: http://www.state.ok.us/osfdocs/history.html you will find all kinds of info on the history of Oklahoma. On November, 16, 1907, Oklahoma became the 46th state. Charles Nathaniel Haskell: First State Governor serving his term 1907-1911 I know that there was not an 1880 census, so this explains why... there were several TERRITORIAL governors, but the above HASKELL was the first STATE governor... lots of info at that url!
