The Canadian River marks the southern edge of Norman — its broad floodplain contrasts with the city’s university districts and the open prairie of central Oklahoma. Founded during the 1889 Land Run, Norman grew from a frontier settlement into the home of the University of Oklahoma, whose campus gives the city a strong academic and sporting identity. The Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History and the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art are major cultural institutions, while downtown brings together independent businesses, restaurants and performance venues.
