The '''Unassigned Lands''' in [[Oklahoma]] were in the center of the lands ceded to the [[United States]] by the [[Creek (people)|Creek]] (Muskogee) and [[Seminole]] Indians following the [[American Civil War|Civil War]] and on which no other tribes had been settled. By 1883, it was bounded by the [[Cherokee Outlet]] on the north, several relocated Indian reservations on the east, the [[Chickasaw]] lands on the south, and the [[Cheyenne]]-[[Arapaho]] reserve on the west. The area amounted to {{convert|1887796.47|acre|sqmi km2|0|abbr=on}}. 

In 1889, this territory was offered by the federal government to non-Native Americans for settlement in the [[Land Rush of 1889|Oklahoma Land Rush]].
