History

The townsite map was recorded November 3, 1909 by The Oxford Land and Townsite Co. alongside the Denver & Rio Grande RR by J.M. Denning.
A post office called Oxford was established in 1908, and remained in operation until 1954. The name Oxford was selected on account of its euphonic sound, according to local history.
