俄克拉荷马城(通常缩写为 OKC)是俄克拉荷马州的首府和最大城市,位于美国中南部。2020 年人口为 681,054(大都市区约 147 万),在美国城市中排名第 20 位。OKC 位于大平原的正中央 – 大致位于 48 个州的地理中心。它坐落在海拔约 1,200 英尺的缓缓起伏的大草原上,远离任何山脉或海岸。广阔的景观主要是平坦的农田和草地,草原小溪和小湖泊点缀其间。这个中心位置使 OKC 具有受大陆影响的湿润亚热带气候:夏季炎热潮湿(通常超过 100°F/38°C),冬季寒冷(气温可降至十几°F,偶尔有雨夹雪)。OKC 位于龙卷风走廊;这里每年经历的龙卷风比美国几乎任何其他城市都要多,尤其是在春季。五月和六月经常出现强雷暴和冰雹。冬季降雪量适中,且断断续续。
俄克拉荷马城的人口正在稳步增长。2020年,该市人口达到681,054人,自2010年以来增长了约13%。其大都会区(俄克拉荷马城MSA)延伸至周边各县,总人口约147万。从人口统计学角度来看,俄克拉荷马城以白人为主(约占50%),拥有庞大且不断增长的西班牙裔/拉丁裔社区(约占21%)和非裔美国人居民(14%)。该市的多元化程度显著:美国人口普查局将其列为全美种族隔离程度最低的第八大城市,也是多种族居民比例最高的城市。此外,该市还拥有相当数量的美洲原住民,这反映了俄克拉荷马州的整体人口结构。家庭收入中位数约为6万美元;生活成本和房价低于全国平均水平。
从经济角度来看,俄克拉荷马城的经济基础是能源(石油和天然气)、农业、政府以及日益壮大的服务业。大型石油公司(前身为科麦奇公司,现为马拉松石油公司)都诞生于此。如今,这座城市的经济呈现多元化。政府和航空航天业是重要的就业岗位来源——廷克空军基地(美国空军的主要维护中心)和州政府机构提供了大量的就业机会。能源行业依然活跃(德文能源、切萨皮克能源等公司的总部)。医疗保健和教育(俄克拉荷马城大学医学中心、俄克拉荷马州立大学各校区)也提供了大量的就业机会。近几十年来,俄克拉荷马城一直致力于发展信息技术、金融和物流等领域。该都市区GDP从2005年的430亿美元增长到2016年的约740亿美元。重要的是,旅游业和会展业已成为增长的目标——据报道,该市每年有数百万游客(到2019年,游客人数约为2300万人,为经济贡献约43亿美元)。俄克拉荷马城地处中西部平原,其天际线和发展如今反映出现代经济:一座高大的玻璃会议中心、一座新的现代艺术博物馆、一条纳斯卡赛道和一支 NBA 球队(俄克拉荷马城雷霆队,2008 年从西雅图迁至俄克拉荷马城)都证明了它的雄心壮志。
俄克拉荷马城位于俄克拉荷马州中部,靠近美国心脏地带。它位于德克萨斯州狭长地带以东约100英里处,达拉斯-沃斯堡以北约200英里处,堪萨斯城以南500英里处。该市坐落在西马龙河(北叉)沿岸,奥弗霍尔瑟湖就在它北边。该地区属于大平原南部——平坦的农业用地,除河岸外树木稀少。最近的山脉是东南方向约100英里处的阿巴克尔山脉;除此之外,四面八方都是草原。
气候有四季:夏季(六月至八月)非常炎热(白天平均气温 95°F/35°C)且潮湿,经常有干旱或严重的风暴前锋。春季(四月至五月)温暖湿润,但却是龙卷风季节。事实上,俄克拉荷马城位于“龙卷风走廊”的中心。在过去的几十年里,无数次龙卷风(总共数百次)经过该市 25 英里范围内。该市本身也多次遭到猛烈的龙卷风(高达 EF5)袭击,造成人员伤亡和财产破坏。冬季凉爽至寒冷,一月份最低气温经常低于冰点(约 23°F/-5°C);降雪量不大(每年 5-6 英寸),一般在一两天内融化。气温变化很大:春季可能从寒冷的早晨转变为炎热的下午。建议游客多穿几层衣服(夏天的夜晚一旦离开阳光就会出奇的凉爽,冬天则会刮风)。
俄克拉荷马城的历史相对较短。该地区长期以来居住着美洲原住民(切罗基人,平原部落),他们在早期的殖民战争中流离失所后定居于此。1889年4月22日是这一事件的关键时刻:这就是著名的1889年土地争夺战,美国政府向白人定居者开放了未分配土地(前印第安领地)。当天中午,在三英里宽的起跑线上,骑马的定居者们竞相冲进。几个小时后,一座新城诞生了。第一任市长(威廉·库奇)于1889年就职。该镇很快于1890年被命名为俄克拉荷马城(这是在原住民意为“红人之城”的词语和其他提议之间的妥协)。它迅速成为该地区最大的定居点。
1907年,俄克拉荷马州建州之时,俄克拉荷马城已取代格思里成为人口中心。新州议会曾投票将首府从格思里迁至俄克拉荷马城,此举引发了争议(实际迁址于1910年)。俄克拉荷马州的建州和石油繁荣使俄克拉荷马城成为了一个政府和能源繁荣的城市。20世纪20年代和30年代,该市人口激增(到1940年已超过18.5万)。市中心的走廊遍布装饰艺术风格的建筑;66号公路(著名的横贯全美的高速公路)从布里克敦穿过。
二战后几十年,俄克拉荷马城向郊区扩张,经济也呈现多元化发展。然而,1995年4月19日,悲剧降临:俄克拉荷马城联邦大楼(默拉大楼)遭国内恐怖分子袭击,造成168人死亡——这是9·11事件前美国历史上最严重的国内恐怖主义袭击。这一事件震惊了这座城市,但也使这座城市团结起来。如今,俄克拉荷马城国家纪念碑(于2000年开放)就矗立于此。
此后,俄克拉荷马城一直致力于城市复兴,其代表性项目是20世纪90年代末和21世纪初的MAPS(大都会区项目)基础设施改善计划(资助公园、新棒球场、现代化会议中心等)。这些努力促进了市中心的复兴。2008年,NBA西雅图超音速队更名为雷霆队迁至俄克拉荷马城,这座城市由此拥有了一支备受瞩目的体育球队。同一时期,这座城市还出现了新的艺术博物馆和建筑热潮。2027年(截至2025年),俄克拉荷马城将与洛杉矶夏季奥运会共同举办足球赛事,这体现了其日益提升的国际知名度。在其短暂的历史中,具有里程碑意义的日期包括1889年(在“土地争夺战”中成立)、1907年(建州)、1910年(成为首府)、1995年(轰炸)以及正在进行的城市复兴项目。
文化氛围
俄克拉荷马城融合了中西部的友好与西部的魅力。“Sooner State”(南方州)的影响显而易见:许多俄克拉荷马人热情、礼貌,并且表面上虔诚(南方浸信会教堂和其他教派的教堂遍布全城)。这里的生活节奏明显比美国东海岸地区慢得多,也更轻松惬意。这里的人们会点头致意或打招呼“你好”。在居民区,你很可能会遇到路过的司机向你挥手致意。即使在市中心,也能感受到小镇的氛围——在杂货店或棒球场上偶遇熟人是很常见的。这种友善的氛围常被描述为“南方的热情好客与中西部坦诚的工作精神的交融”。
传统文化为当地生活增添了色彩。牛仔和印第安人的历史在这里广为流传(事实上,这座城市每年都会举办大型俄克拉荷马州博览会,并设有著名的牛仔与西部遗产博物馆)。菜单上主要以烧烤、牛排和德州墨西哥风味菜肴为主;炸鸡排和炸秋葵是当地特色菜。社交生活通常围绕体育酒吧和烧烤店展开。节日庆典丰富多彩:每年九月的俄克拉荷马州博览会堪称传奇,塔尔萨的河畔节(包含马拉松和艺术的节日)吸引了众多游客,甚至当地的红土印第安文化节也会向原住民部落致敬。热爱冒险的游客可以参观塔尔萨航空航天博物馆,或乘坐老式双翼飞机,感受俄克拉荷马城与航空业的深厚渊源。夜生活丰富多彩——一个名为“砖镇”(Bricktown)的砖砌仓库区拥有众多餐厅、一座小联盟棒球场以及一条可乘坐水上出租车的河滨运河。当地有艺术氛围(帕塞奥区的画廊)和精酿啤酒厂,但与纽约或新奥尔良的完全不同。
俄克拉荷马人倾向于保守,现场音乐通常以乡村西部曲调为主,而该地区的原住民部落(马斯科吉族、切罗基族、克里克族、乔克托族等)依然活跃——偶尔会举办一些文化活动,例如帕瓦节或切罗基语课程。几乎每个人都说英语(西班牙语在庞大的西班牙裔社区中很常见),你偶尔会听到他们用大平原或南方口音慢悠悠地交谈。当地有一个独特的细节:俄克拉荷马州没有州所得税,所以人们的收入更高;那里的文化氛围鼓励慷慨。在市中心的公共场所,你常常会看到人们像与老朋友一样轻松地与陌生人交谈。
俄克拉荷马城的顶级景点体现了其独特的西部传统与现代都市生活的融合。布里克敦(Bricktown)是必游的娱乐区,最初是一个仓库区,如今已改建为餐厅、酒吧和夜生活场所。布里克敦运河(穿过以前的铁路地下通道)白天提供水上出租车游览,并于7月4日燃放烟花。附近是切萨皮克能源球馆(俄克拉荷马城雷霆队NBA球队的主场),体育迷可以在这里观看比赛或音乐会。艺术博物馆也应运而生:俄克拉荷马城艺术博物馆(拥有全国闻名的戴尔·奇胡利玻璃收藏)以及位于市中心以北的国家牛仔与西部遗产博物馆,那里有沉浸式的牛仔展览。历史爱好者可以参观位于默拉大厦遗址的俄克拉荷马城国家纪念碑,那里的倒影池和“幸存者之树”雕塑将为您带来震撼的体验。俄克拉荷马历史中心和美国原住民博物馆(将于2021年开放)将带您深入了解俄克拉荷马州和原住民的历史。
户外,这座城市拥有令人惊喜的广阔绿地。市中心的 Myriad 植物园包括水晶桥热带温室。Scissortail 公园于 2019 年竣工,占地 70 英亩,是一座河滨公园,内设游乐场、步道和各种活动。对于体育/旅游活动,俄克拉荷马城拥有:
- 河流运动,例如在布里克敦 (Bricktown) 的运河上划皮艇或骑自行车游览 66 条小径网络。
- 位于市中心西侧的牲畜饲养场城 (Stockyards City) 让您可以一窥俄克拉荷马州过去的牛贸易历史(每天都有牛群赶赶和西部主题商店)。
那些追求媚俗的人们会喜欢白天华丽的帕塞奥艺术区灯光雕塑公园和东肖尼艺术家商店。
鉴于俄克拉荷马城的地理位置,即使从俄克拉荷马城驱车不远,也能欣赏到沿途的美景。北边是俄克拉荷马城动物园(一个大型现代化动物园,有大象、大型猫科动物等)。稍远一点是赫夫纳湖的砂岩山丘(提供帆船租赁服务),以及位于惠勒公园的雄伟的惠勒摩天轮(一个怀旧的小型观景摩天轮)。夏季,当地人会涌入白水湾水上乐园。
总而言之,这里的景点并非像自由女神像那样单一的标志性建筑,而是融合了各种元素的魅力:享用烧烤午餐,在砖城棒球场观看公牛队的季后赛,然后去城外的悬岩公园(Hanging Rock Park)参观博物馆或打高尔夫球。俄克拉荷马城是适合家庭娱乐和感受美国腹地文化的绝佳去处。
俄克拉荷马城的主要航空门户是威尔·罗杰斯世界机场 (OKC),位于市中心西南约 7 英里处。2019 年,该机场客流量超过 430 万人次,所有美国主要航空枢纽(达美航空、西南航空、美国航空、联合航空等)均有航班起降。城北较小的威利·波斯特机场 (Wiley Post Airport) 提供少量区域航班。至于火车,目前没有直达市中心的美铁列车;不过,美铁 Heartland Flyer 列车在附近的诺曼(以南 15 英里)停靠,目前正在规划未来开通的线路。公交线路(灰狗巴士、杰斐逊巴士)途经俄克拉荷马城的交通中心。
俄克拉荷马城的公路交通十分便利:35号州际公路、40号州际公路和44号州际公路均在此交汇。(35号州际公路南北连接明尼阿波利斯至拉雷多,40号州际公路东西连接北卡罗来纳州至加利福尼亚州巴斯托,44号州际公路东北-西南连接德克萨斯州威奇托福尔斯,途经圣路易斯。)这使得全国各地的人们都可以驾车前往俄克拉荷马城,尽管市中心交通高峰时段的拥堵可能会影响通勤速度。从俄克拉荷马城出发的风景优美的公路包括通往塔尔萨或劳顿的收费公路,以及沿着城市北部边缘蜿蜒而上的著名的66号公路(沿途遍布复古汽车旅馆和纪念“母亲之路”的66号公路标志)。
俄克拉荷马城虽然地势杂乱,但交通运输已取得长足进步。当地公交系统(Embark)拥有数十条线路,覆盖城市各个街区。在市中心和布里克顿,有一条有轨电车线路(于2018年开通)连接主要景点(从中城区经布里克顿直达娱乐区)。出租车和拼车服务随处可见,自行车道也在不断扩建。尽管如此,大多数当地人仍然开车出行。许多游客会租车探索该地区,尤其是在人口密集的核心区之外。市中心的街道采用数字网格划分(例如南北克拉森街、西北23街等),因此导航十分便捷。这座城市总体上非常适合驾车出行,拥有充足的停车场,许多区域还提供免费路边停车位(不像纽约或芝加哥那样停车位稀缺)。
俄克拉荷马城使用美元。英语是通用语言;西班牙语在餐饮和服务行业也较为常见。礼仪随意:介绍时,用力握手并打个招呼“你好,最近怎么样?”即可。气候提示:夏季炎热干燥——建议在旅游时携带优质防晒霜和水壶。冬季夜晚寒冷刺骨(俄克拉荷马州没有山脉可以保持夜间温暖),因此建议多穿几件衣服。这座城市的热情友好意味着您会经常受到欢迎,尤其是在您询问方向或推荐时。
安全须知:俄克拉荷马城(OKC)就其规模而言,相对安全。市中心和旅游区(砖镇)均有市警巡逻。犯罪率适中;与其他城市一样,深夜应避免前往灯光昏暗的街道,并将贵重物品锁在车内。学校会进行龙卷风演习(该市设有恶劣天气警报器),当地人建议春季查看天气预报,了解风暴警报。总体而言,采取一些常规预防措施(例如不携带贵重物品、了解路线)即可。游客经常称赞这里的宁静——与大城市不同,这里很少发生抢劫或袭击游客的事件。
总的来说,俄克拉荷马城给游客留下了友好、便捷、基础设施完善的印象。它融合了美国中心地带的魅力(开阔的天空、牛仔文化)和现代化首都的服务。您可以感受到务实的都市氛围,点缀着热情的笑容,并感受到在俄克拉荷马城,您总能找到一扇敞开的大门。
俄克拉荷马城的历史
1889年的土地争夺战:一场争夺未来的竞赛
Oklahoma City’s story is deftly entwined with the Land Run of 1889, a pivotal event marking the release of the “unassigned lands” to eager immigrants. Many pioneers gracefully pushed ahead on April 22, 1889, to claim what would soon become the great Oklahoma City. Referred to as the “Run of ’89,” this event transformed the once-quiet, underpopulated area into a vibrant and active community in shockingly little time. Driven by the attraction of opportunity and the possibility of a fresh start, the Land Run was a lavish and exciting search for land. It laid the foundation for the city’s quick development and growth, so enabling its future as a major urban center.
早期:从帐篷城到新兴城市
Following the Land Run, Oklahoma City sprang into a thriving tent city where immigrants quickly built businesses and temporary homes. Driven by the relentless spirit and fortitude of its people, the community thrived in the face of challenges of frontier living. Oklahoma City had become a vibrant center marked by a growing population and a thriving economy by the turn of the century. Its growth was much improved by the railroad, which also made it a major hub for trade and transportation in the vicinity. Fast expansion and flourishing development defined the city’s early years as residents committed themselves to create a luxurious future.
俄克拉荷马城爆炸案:悲剧与坚韧的一天
Oklahoma City had a historic event on April 19, 1995 that permanently changed the country. With 168 deaths and long-lasting effects on the community, the terrible bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building ranks among the most horrific acts of domestic terrorism in American history. Following great loss, Oklahoma City residents displayed incredible fortitude and cohesion. The sad incident brought the people together and promoted unity and compassion that would come to define the “Oklahoma Standard.” The bombing brought about amazing changes in national security policies and procedures, so underscoring the critical need of awareness and readiness.
重建与复兴:俄克拉荷马标准报
Oklahoma City started a beautiful path of healing and rebirth following the bombing. The way the community responded to the tragedy was one of great support and a strong will to rebuild with unheard-of force. Built to honor the victims and educate next generations about the consequences of violence and the power of resiliency, the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum The Oklahoma Standard, which stands for service, honor, and kindness with a little grace, elegantly guided the city’s efforts at recovery. Oklahoma City is still defined as a place that transcends obstacles by this core of strength and rejuvenation.
俄克拉荷马城地理
俄克拉荷马城(有时简称 OKC)地理位置优越,距离充满活力的达拉斯-沃斯堡大都会区仅三小时车程,是通往德克萨斯州和墨西哥的重要门户。该城位于俄克拉荷马州的核心地带,地处边境乡村地区,是州政府的重要枢纽,也是充满活力的商业和文化中心。
地理和生态概况

北加拿大河与城市发展
Now gracefully referred to as the Oklahoma River inside city boundaries, the North Canadian River is a vital component of the geography of the city. Historically, the annual floods of the river caused significant damage, which resulted in the graceful dam building in the 1940s to control flow. The city’s ambitious MAPS revitalizing project revealed a sequence of graceful low-water dams in the 1990s, improving the river’s appeal near downtown and turning it into a lovely and leisurely treasure.
湖泊和水道
除了东南部宁静祥和、气势磅礴、景色宜人的斯坦利·德雷珀湖 (Lake Stanley Draper) 之外,俄克拉荷马城还有三个著名的湖泊:西北部平静的赫夫纳湖 (Lake Hefner) 和西北部壮丽的奥弗霍尔瑟湖 (Lake Overholser)。这些湖泊不仅改善了城市的供水状况,提升了生态多样性,还提供了丰富的休闲活动。
人口密度和城市扩张
Given the city’s large incorporated area, the population density could give a rather false picture. Covering almost 244 square miles, the urbanized zone boasts an estimated density of 2,500 people per square mile; the vast rural watershed areas gracefully cover the remaining 377 square miles. This unique distribution highlights the great mix of rural and urban elements that define Oklahoma City.
环境管理
Oklahoma City sets itself out among the most well-known cities in the country in respect to the Clean Air Act. This constant dedication to environmental criteria emphasizes the city’s will to protect a beautiful and sustainable living space for its citizens.

俄克拉荷马城的气候
俄克拉荷马城属亚热带湿润温带气候,气候宜人,受大陆性气候模式的影响。这使得该市冬季凉爽,夏季炎热潮湿,并伴有多种天气事件,形成了独特的气候特征。
季节变化和天气模式
Oklahoma City’s summers are defined by a rich, enveloping atmosphere and a sultry warmth. During this season, the mild breezes from the south or south-southeastern elegantly cool the high temperatures and provide a welcome relief from the stifling heat. On the other hand, winters bring a welcome cold since northern breezes often accentuate the frozen conditions. The city sees a fair number of dramatic weather events including snowstorms and ice storms that periodically show up throughout the winter.
极端温度
Oklahoma City’s average annual temperature is a polished 61.4°F (16.3°C). With average daily temperatures hovering around 39.2°F (4.0°C), January brings the cold of winter enveloping the scene. On the other hand, July offers a pleasant hug; averages for this temperature range a wonderful 83.0°F (28.3°C). From a cold -17°F (-27°C) in February 1899 to a sweltering 113°F (45°C) in August 1936 and once more in August 2012, the city has seen amazing temperature extremes. It is quite amazing how well the city can feel both sweltering heat and freezing cold.
降水和天气事件
俄克拉荷马城年降水量充沛,高达91.2厘米,其中21.8厘米的降雪更是美不胜收。该市长期遭受严重干旱,有时甚至导致周边地区发生野火。另一方面,大量的降雨也可能引发意想不到的大范围洪涝灾害,给城市基础设施及其居民带来巨大挑战。
未来气候预测
According to NOAA’s 2013 “Regional Climate Trends and Scenarios for the U.S. National Climate Assessment,” the Great Plains—which includes Oklahoma City—are expected to see an increase in extreme precipitation events by middle-century. Under a situation marked by high emissions, the frequency of days with more than one inch of rain could increase by as much as 30%. This estimate emphasizes the need of lavish infrastructure and clever plans to elegantly negotiate the possible effects of climate change on the city.
俄克拉荷马城的人口统计
近年来,俄克拉荷马城经历了显著的人口结构变化,凸显了其积极的发展和完善的社区组织。城市人口不断增长,家庭结构也发生了变化,构成了一幅幅绚丽多彩的现代化都市图景。
人口增长与分布
The 2010 census shows Oklahoma City had 579, 999 people, tastefully divided among 230,233 households and 144,120 families. Complementing 256,930 housing units with an average density of 375.9 per square mile, the population density during that period came out to be an amazing 956.4 inhabitants per mile. With an amazing 681,054 by the 2020 census, the city’s population had grown remarkably in line with its appeal and plenty of economic opportunities.
The 2010 census numbers elegantly showed Oklahoma City’s population distribution among several counties: 44,541 people in Canadian County, 63,723 in Cleveland County, 471,671 in Oklahoma County, and a meager 64 in Pottawatomie County. This spread highlights the great distance of the city and the several luxurious homes scattered over its metropolitan area.
家庭构成
2010年,俄克拉荷马城共有230,233户家庭,居住环境呈现出显著的多样性。其中,近29.4%的家庭有18岁以下的子女,43.4%的家庭为同居夫妇。非家庭户占37.4%;无丈夫在场的单身女性户主占13.9%。值得注意的是,所有家庭中30.5%为单身人士,8.7%的家庭中有65岁及以上独居者。虽然平均每个家庭有3.11名成员,但平均每个家庭由2.47人组成,因此,家庭生活模式与独立居住环境相结合。
The count of households by 2020 was rather astounding—268,035. Among these, 30.4% were individual households, 42.2% were opposite-sex married couples, 6.6% were unmarried opposite-sex partnerships, and 1.1% were same-sex married couples or partnerships. This information shows Oklahoma City’s evolving household compositions in great detail, stressing growing respect of many family configurations.
经济指标
The median income for a household in Oklahoma City was $63,713 according to American Community Survey 1-year estimates for 2022; the median income for a family came out to be $80,833. Whereas non-family households had a median income of $40,521, married-couple families delighted in a median income of $99,839. The city’s per capita income came out rather impressively at $35,902. With 20.1% of people under 18 and 10.6% of those aged 65 and older experiencing poverty, it is interesting that 15.5% of the population and 11.2% of families find themselves beneath the poverty line in view of these positive economic indicators.
