History
6
Oakland was established in 1851 by Dr. Dorsey S. Baker. The town moved to its present site in 1872 when the O&C Railroad reached this point, and Alonzo F. Brown founded the new town. Fires destroyed the wooden buildings, and the existing brick buildings were built in the 1890's. The economy then and now is mainly agricultural.
