Oxford is one of the oldest towns in the state of Maryland. Oxford marks the year 1683 as its official founding. In that year Oxford was first named by the Maryland General Assembly as a seaport and was laid out as a town.
In 1694, Oxford and a new town called Anne Arundel (now Annapolis) were selected the only ports of entry for the entire Maryland province. Until the American Revolution, Oxford enjoyed prominence as an international shipping center.
Oxford is still a waterman’s town, but is enjoying a new resurgence based on tourism and leisure activities. It’s quiet charm, fresh air, summer breezes, and clean water provide a haven from the hustle and bustle of city life for boaters, weekend visitors, and summer residents.
