History

Established in 1856, Oxford has grown from its humble beginnings as a lumber and agricultural center into a vibrant community known for its picturesque downtown and small-town charm. The village's history is deeply intertwined with the development of the railroad, which played a pivotal role in its growth and prosperity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Beyond its architectural allure, Oxford boasts a rich cultural tapestry, showcased through local events like the Oxford Lone Ranger Festival and the Celebrate Oxford Summer Festival, which pay homage to the village's connection to the iconic Lone Ranger radio show.
