Oklahoma City is the capital and largest city of Oklahoma. Besides Oklahoma County, the city limits reach into Canadian, Cleveland and Pottawatomie counties. Oklahoma City ranks as the 7th-largest city in the nation by land area.

The city was founded during the Land Run of 1889. The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was bombed by a disaffected U.S. Army veteran in the mid 90s. The Oklahoma City bombing left behind 168 deaths; the most destructive act of domestic terrorism in US history before the September 11th attacks. Oklahoma City’s economy was once a regional center of government, but has diversified to include the sectors of information technology, services, health services and administration. The city has two Fortune 500 companies: Devon Energy and Chesapeake Energy and a number of private large companies, which can be researched more by the Oklahoma business directory.

Oklahoma City has a large variety of neighborhoods. Inner-city neighborhoods are similar to those located in downtown and are mostly single-family detached houses. There are a number of apartment dwellings as well, many with a more urban-modern style. Downtown and in Business Districts there are a large amount of condo and loft developments. Many of the newer apartments and businesses in this area can be found in the yellow pages.

The Donald W. Reynolds Visual Arts Center is the new downtown home for the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. The museum has original selections from its own collection, a theater showing foreign films, independent, and a restaurant. OKCMOA is also home to the most comprehensive collection of Chihuly glass in the world including the fifty-five foot Eleanor Blake Kirkpatrick Memorial Tower in the Museum's atrium. The Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum is also an attraction worthwhile for tourists.
