At a conference held in Salt Lake City on 8 April 1855 a number of missionaries were called to open the Indian Territory Mission, which followed the boundaries of the what is now the state of Oklahoma. Five years later the missionaries returned home and the mission is closed.
Missionary work did not recommence until 1877 after the April General Conference reorganized the mission. A few missionaries served for a few months in the area. On 20 April 1883, the Indian Territory Mission was once more reorganized.
It was renamed the Southwestern States Mission on 29 March 1898 then became the Central States Mission in 1904.
