Oklahoma City (/oʊkləˌhoʊmə -/ (listen)), officially the City of Oklahoma City, and often shortened to OKC, is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. The county seat of Oklahoma County, it ranks 20th among United States cities in population, and is the 8th largest city in the Southern United States. The population grew following the 2010 census and reached 687,725 in the 2020 census.

Oklahoma City's city limits extend somewhat into Canadian, Cleveland, and Pottawatomie counties, though much of those areas outside the core Oklahoma County area are suburban tracts or protected rural zones (watershed). The city is the eighth-largest in the United States by area including consolidated city-counties; it is the second-largest, after Houston, not including consolidated cities. The city is also the second largest by area among state capital cities in the United States, after Juneau, Alaska.

"Awati" is transliterated in Uygur language, meaning "prosperity". The area of Awati County used to be called "Duolang" and was the hometown of "Duolang people" (ancient Uygur tribes). Later, a large number of farmers emigrated here, with a sudden increase in population, a wide range of arable land and a changing face, so they changed their name to Awati. Awati County, which belongs to Aksu region of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region, is an important grain, cotton and fruit base in the region. It covers an area of 13259 square kilometers and has jurisdiction over 5 townships, 3 towns and 3 agricultural and forestry farms. There are 118villages, 7 neighborhood committees, 34 companies and more than 80 animal husbandry sites, as well as some regimental farms of the first Agricultural Division of the bingtuan. In 2012, the population of the county was 245800, including Uygur, Han, Hui, Kazakh, Kirgiz, Uzbek, Mongolian, Xibe and Russian.
