Ti is a small place in Oklahoma, United States. It's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses. However, it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Ti is located in Pittsburg County. You can find it about 11 miles (18 kilometers) southwest of a town called Hartshorne.
How Ti Got Its Name
Ti has a very interesting name! It's actually a reversed acronym. An acronym is when you take the first letter of words to make a new word, like "NASA." But "Ti" is the opposite! It comes from "Indian Territory" spelled backward.
Long ago, before Oklahoma became a state, this area was known as the Indian Territory. It was land set aside for many Native American tribes. So, the name "Ti" is a little piece of history!
