oklahoma city had less than 5,000 people in 1890, although it boomed right before WW2 due to discovery of oil in the area, hense the collection of pre-war office buildings, downtown. it never really had a chance to develop large, mature wealthy pre-war neighborhoods. tulsa seems like it was a bit wealthier, perhaps, but not sure.
the last time i passed through both - oklahoma city seemed more "texan," or southern plains while tulsa felt more like a little kansas city, or western midwestern-ish.
