Best Answer

The name Sooners was given to the settlers who settled the Oklahoma area before President Cleveland gave the official ok to settle the land. The name derived from the "sooner clause" of the Indians Appropriations Act, which stated that anyone who jumped the gun would be denied the right to claim the land.
