The Red River Bridge Controversy between Texas and Oklahoma, sometimes called the “Red River War” occurred in July 1931 over the opening of a newly completed free bridge, built jointly by the two states, across the Red River between Denison, Texas and Durant, Oklahoma. The 1931 conflict between Texas and Oklahoma had lasting consequences.
