    What’s the historical reason it wasn’t included in one of the other states?

    When Texas sought to enter the Union in 1845 as a slave state, federal law in the United States, based on the Missouri Compromise, prohibited slavery north of 36°30’ parallel north. Under the Compromise of 1850, Texas surrendered its lands north of 36°30’ latitude.

      Slavery, like usual, was the answer.

      It has a lot to do with the US using Oklahoma as a dumping zone for first Americans and then over time taking even that from them piece by piece.

      If your interested, Jonny Harris did a piece on it recently.
