United States: The Changing Frontier

The frontier in North America began moving west soon after the first

European settlers arrrived in the 1600s. As the settlers moved onto the

frontier, American Indians were displaced or pushed west. In 1889, the

government opened the Indian Territory (later the state of Oklahoma) to white

settlers, although much of this land had been promised to Indians. This

created the last wild land rush in the country. In 1890 the Bureau of the

Census officially declared there was no frontier left in the

country.
