Description

Oxford and Lafayette County have been shaped from the Pontotoc Treaty and the Chickasaw Cession of 1832 and the revised agreement in 1834. This treaty with the Chickasaws ceded land that shaped 12 counties in North Mississippi. On June 22, 1836, three land speculators, John Martin, John Chisom, and John Craig, donated 50 acres to the Board of Police for the formation of town of Oxford. The title Oxford used to be proposed by way of a nephew of John Craig, Thomas D. Isom, who worked for him in his buying and selling post, in hopes that the state legislature would place the brand new state College there. Oxford used to be chartered by way of the State of Mississippi on Might 11, 1837. The College of Mississippi opened its doors in 1848.
